4R70W questions
I have a 1996 Ranger, 2 wheel straight cab, long bed.
I swapped in a 1999 5.0/4R70W from a Mountaineer, the donor had 183K and looked original, it was totaled and prior to the idiot wrecking it, it was actually owned by a little ole lady. I have put 70K+on my build and now 1st gear is SLIPPING. Of course I am assuming it now has 250K on a daily driver work truck, complete with tool boxes and ladder rack.
I am pulling the tranny this week to totally rebuild and am wondering since I have to use a ‘98 and newer ECM because it would not shift into drive/OD because of the EDC, while it is down, should I replace the newer EDC with a ‘92-‘97 one? I have a ‘96 ECM and they are actually an over the counter part here locally and the ‘98 and later are not, should I need a replacemen.
Are there any other problems I am overlooking?
