How Many Miles On E4od?
I Have A 97 Diesel With E4od, Has About 109k Miles, Have Done Regular Maintenance (filter And Oil Changes). Does Anyone Have An Idea How Long I Might Have Until Major Tranny Troubles. From The Sound Of The Posts I've Seen, It Looks Like An Unavoidable Problem In The Future. Thanks In Advance For Any Replies. Jcab

It seems like a crap shoot. I see posts with reports of 200k and more. And others like myself lose them early, less than 100k. I guess it depends on how hard you drive, if you tow, and how you keep up with the service. If you are not having any trouble, don't fix what isn't broken.

mine I have about 130,000miles on mine, typicaly all stock minus exhaust, air intake and bumped fuel pressure.
I've overheated it and I hit temps of the 230-250 range. Got so hot I blew the seal out in the oil pump and walked the bushing out where my torque converter slides into, also had to change my flexplate.
Same day I pulled the tranny out, new seal, new bushing that is slotted, had the oil pump puled apart and installed a tugger kits involving selinoids and drilling out the valve body and upping pressures, I got my buddy to do it, hes a tranny wiz and charged me his cost for all the parts, shifts damn nice now and fortanitly have not had a problem with the tranny now.
I change the oil and filter including draining the torque converter every 50,000kms and installed a trans temp gauge and huge cooler. I'll be pleased if I get 300,000kms out of the tranny.

I fulltime RV, pulling 15,000 all the time. I bought a Jasper monster box Nov 2004. at the time I thought it was the most bulletproof on the market with best national warrenty. august 2005 it failed,12,000 miles(reverse went away)
two weeks down time,rental vehicle expense, its back on the road. two weeks later new torque converter fails. their respose "gee, you must have recieved one of the old ones". October 2006,32,000 miles, reverse fails again, no load, empty truck. Luckly, it still has 6 weeks of warrenty left. Its been two weeks, while its being shipped back to Jasper so they can determine what failed.I might get it back end of next week. Jasper was the worst purchase I've made. They do stand behind the product but are very slow, took them almost 8 months to reimburse me for the total "warrenty expensese." You have to pay the shop, then they send you a check. same old story, "trust me Brother the checks in the mail".

Hit Or Miss Is Right
THAT'S A HORROR STORY I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH, IT'S A PAIN TO BE DOWN WITHOUT YOUR TRUCK FOR THAT LONG OF A TIME, AS WELL AS THE HASSLE OF GETTING REIMBURSED FOR YOUR WARRANTY. WHO ARE BTS? JCAB
