trans. and diff. fluid change

I just pickup a 1993 F150 4x4 with 100,000 miles with a automatic trans. with OD. Truck code says its a E4OD. I have a push button 4x4 and low range.

TRANSMISSION
Should I need 17.7 qts. of Mercon lll fluid with complete flush? Haynes says there are 5 choices of trans. which include C4 C5 C6 whats the C mean?

DIFFERENTIAL
Truck code says AXLE 19 which I think it stands for 3.55 limited slip.
With both axles do I use 80/90 weight with 4 oz or 8 oz of friction modifier? How can I tell if I have Dana or Ford 8.8 or 10.5 axles?

Thanks for any information,
Mike

you need to drain convertor also.

it is very hard to get all the fluid outof a transmission.

if your trans is dry after being rebuilt it may need that much.

get at least 4 gallons and i recommend lucas trans additive.

i measure what comes out to know how much should go in.

19=3.55 non l.s. so no additive needed, and fronts are usually non l.s.

go to articles at top of page to decode your truck.

TRANSMISSION
Haynes says there are 5 choices of transmissions for 1980 to 1996 trucks which include C4, C5, C6. Does anyone know what does the C mean?

DIFFERENTIAL
My diff. code is 19 which is a 3.55 Non Limited Slip.
Haynes says there are 7 choices of diff. how can i find out which one do I have? How can I find out which one is there a tag on the axles?

Ford 8.8 and 9.0
Ford 10.25
Dana 44 front axle
Dana 60 front axle
Dana 60, 60.5, 61-1, 61-2
62, Dana 70
Dana 70 HD


TRANSFER CASE
New Process 2 speed part time or a Borg Warner 13-56 manual and electronic shift
Which one do I have, does it have a tag on it ?
Later,
Mike
