Finally doin it!
well, im finally gettin her done. I just pulled my tranny and have started the rebuild. I have been hesitant to do it because it means i can't drive my baby for a while! Anyone know anything about the E4OD? hopefully i dont run into any snags. Does anyone know where i can get specs on it? I need the torque specs and all that stuff before i put her back together! I just got done takin the valve bodies off the other night. Any input is cool. Thanks.

Tim, check the transmission/axle forum for info on the E4OD. You might search it first but if you don't find what you're looking for there post the questions. They'll definitely be able to help you out.
Do you have a manual for it? There's going to be a lot of specs in that tranny that need to be exact or it ain't gonna work right. You'll definitely need a shop manual to get it done right.

Check out Baumann Engineering. The E4OD is a tricky tranny. Rebuild it right and it will be very strong. Rebuild it wrong and it's not long for this world.

In the current issue of Four Wheeler mag (May 04) there is an article about an F-150 E4OD buildup. If you can't get the issue here are a few web sites that they reffered to in the article:
http://attitudeperformance.com
http://www.raceconverters.com/
http://www.transtarindustries.com/
http://www.worldwidetransmissions.com/
There was another article last year in one of the 4x4 mags that also did a write up of the E4OD tranny. They used Brians Truck Stop. His web site is http://brianstruckshop.com/
Also, check out High Impact at http://www.high-impact.net/ I have used this site several times for some of my upgrades in my rig.
I wish I new at least half this info up into the middle of last year when I had my E4OD rebuilt for the second time, and after 6 to 10 months later I started to have problems again. There are quite a few incompetant shops out there who just do not know what the heck they where doing.
Hope this helps
