Overdrive??
Howdy yall,
I have a 93 F250 7.3L w/ auto E4OD.
Everybody says don't haul in overdrive.
My question is why?
Is it because
the transmission temps get to high?
What’s considered to high?
If I added a heavy duty transmission
cooler a mag-hytec pan and a
temp gauge, would I then be able to
haul in overdrive?
Also how do you tell if you have a
super duty?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Gr8ride

There is no reason you can't tow in overdrive, unless it is frequently shifting in and out of overdrive.
Ford says you can tow in overdrive. It's in the owner's manual.

I tow all the time in OD unless she starts hunting for gears, then either back off the throttle of drop down a gear to stop the hunting. The hunting will generate a lot of heat. I tow a 4000lb boat and a 9000lb TT (not at same time) and I just put it OD and go. I have put 100k miles on my E4OD. Just run a aux trans cooler, or as I do couple it with a aux trans filter set up.
