Interesting data on the change over area for roller cam. Shocked E6 heads still around that late. Makes me believe more than the early EFI cams are left over carb truck junk.
My 05/88 had roller block, not prepped. My pal's 89MY built late '88 (11/88 area) was drilled and tapped. Both 302.
Anyway, that box probably just changed TCC lockup points and line pressure. Banks had a box like this too. I have a Baumann controller somewhere for the E4OD (to run standalone). I can dig it out if anyone cares.
Seen two 302/E4OD trucks. No clue how it was optioned. One was a 92/93 area, saw in AZ other same year but in TX. Perhaps some tow package/GVWR. Not too sure, hell I guess someone could have tossed a 302 in if the 351 died. Eyed passing
Please don't take that personally. These trucks were a dumping ground for leftover parts up to the end of production, there are almost more exceptions than rules with these things.

Yes. Another example, despite the fact that most trucks built '92-'96(+ '97 HD trucks) used the E4OD or 4R70W you will still find the occassional one that came with a C6 or AOD.

My '90 5.0 was the same, but a complete junkyard roller assembly dropped right in.

I didn’t.

I’d also be surprised to see E6 heads. My 5/89 build date F-150 had E7 heads and the block was already tapped for the spider.
See, I was always under the impression the AOD was gone for 94MY. Honestly with JY vehicles I should take pics so we could scratch our heads collectively if they are still as delivered
Fully understand the oddballs with the factory finding stuff and sending it, which I believe were those 302/E4OD trucks.
sorry for picture size. Looks like a "T" though. Hope you can tell something from this lifter valley pic complete lifter valley
Trying to make them smaller but not able to. I hope you can make out what you asked for though.
VIN 8th position indicates the engine size. N indicates a 302/5L engine. Trans code is not part of the VIN. That is listed on the driver side B-pillar sticker.
Yeah, it is an E transmission code....UA exterior....117 MB....Trans E....axle 19....TAPE S....springs C L....Body DJ3....TYPE-GM F141 . Seems that covers all those numbers.
and letters.
Trans code E is E4OD, that means the OEM computer(Powertrain Control Module) was designed to control both engine and trans and that makes the presence of a Baumann trans controller kind of puzzling.. unless the original PCM is long gone. There should be some codes on the PCM connector that will decode to indicate what it is for, but it has to be removed to see that.
I just bought a 1993 ford f150 4x4. I found some wiring under the dash that I traced to the trucks PCM. The came from a metal box with no markings on it. Si I opened it up and found Baumann on the motherboard. I looked it up and found the founders history of this and was surprised about what it was for. It has over drive so an E4OD I would guess. I know nothing about this and the previous owner was a young kid whos grandfather probably had this Baumann piece installed.
Just what does it help with the transmission. There was no booklet and I have no idea what, if any, particular model it was. I see where the inventors first build was in 1988. Any help with finding out more about this? I think I head that it is programable too? I am in the process of putting a new, stock intake back on it and fixing a lifter that wasn't pumping up. So maybe within a week I should start it up again.
Its a very cool looking truck. He had a valet program in it too. Again I had to find this out on my own. The grandpa shaved the door handles and with some trial I figured out how to use the remote to unlock and open the doors. Plus I found a handy cable under the frame that will open the door manually. Flare side that has been lifted at least 6 inches. Well done with beadlock rims and steering dampeners. Still exploring it.
So, any help or showing me possible links to look to find out more or find a booklet, or manual to see how to learn its capabilities, would be appreciated.
Thanks

That is a Baumannator TCS, the og stand alone transmission controller from what is now US Shift. Holler at them with any questions, they have excellent customer service. I wired one up to my 93 F150 back in college to run my E4od after swapping a carb’d 400 into it. I have no idea why they would’ve installed it if you still have the factory motor and transmission though.
It would have to be wired up separately to work with the orignal PCM, and then let the pcm think it is in neutral or swap a manual ECM in. This truck might have a modified accumulator valve body / shift kit as well, assuming it is still an E4OD.
Post up pictures of the transmission pan, or count the bolts in the pan and post it up.
Do you have a picture of the engine before you started disassembling, I’m assuming you disassembled it? Was the original fuel injection on it. It wasn’t a Holley sniper or something like that? I see a picture in post #7 of an upper intake, just clarifying that is what you removed.
“The transmission has overdrive so an E4OD, 20 bolts. It is a stock 302 or 5.0”
Did you count the bolts? Don’t count on the VIN tag/decal, or anything else at this point. As Conanski mentioned, so many things could have been changed, multiple times over the years. The trans it self could have been swapped for a 4R70w / AODE, etc - doubtful, but possible.
“one plug in to the trans”
If E4OD, there should be two sets of wiring harness to the transmission, one on the LH and one on RH side.
Looking at the picture in post #7, it looks like an E4OD 4x4 tail / extension housing. If stock, the wiring in that picture: one connection is to the transfer case position indicator. The other wiring should be going to the TRS / MPLS ( LH Side), Solenoid body (RH side), and probably in the mix wiring to the O2 sensor. The single white wire, I’m not sure what it is there for, does not look stock, possibly a ground for the Baumann.
