HARD Engagement - E4OD
When I shift to reverse or to drive my truck jumps like a rabbit. Not just a clunk.
Almost like putting it into 4LO without pushing the break enuf.
I replaced the ball joints last week. (one was bad)
Driveline Shop - Says it is the tranny and the play in the diff is fine.
One Tranny shop didn't say much.
What do you all think? Time for a new tranny at ($2500 for rebuild)?

I meant U-joints.
Just had it at AAMCO Tranny. They say it needs to be rebuilt. $1800.
This really bites. Do I bother? Do I sell it for parts?
If I fix it do I really want to keep it?
I don't know.

man that bites. I'm having drivetrain problems too. when I tow my boat or 5th wheel it sounds like gravel rolling around in the tranny or transfer case. It doesn't slip but sure makes an ugly sound. was yours doing that?

Are you sure the noise id tranny...My truck had pinging under load. Bad timing. Sounds like marbles in the engine.
Still need some direction on if I need a new tranny or if it could be something cheaper?
Do I buy a used tranny and swap it in?
Are 2wd and 4wd E4OD tranny's the same? I know the diesels are different.

It's tough to say what the better choice is, are you going to keep the truck for awhile? Or getting rid of it soon. If keeping it I'd probably get a remanufactured one. Depends too on what parts they are replacing.
There is a guy here in town, Cooks Auto Parts @ 989-539-2202 that has a E40D out of a '96 F150 for 650.00 He says the bed is in sweet shape with no 5th wheel hitch in it from the same truck so it should be in decent shape as the sales guy said it look like the guy took care of it. (unfortunately the truck caught fire) In case your interested.
Anyway I guess it comes down to how much you can spend and what your plans for the truck are. Just my .02
