4R100 Tranny

Hey guys, the truck I'm thinking of buying is a 1997 F250HD, 2WD with a 351 engine. The owner says the truck transmission went bad and he had a new factory reconditioned (if there is such a thing) tranny installed about 4000 miles ago. I asked if it was the E4OD transmission and he said no that it was a 4R100 tranny. In looking over the transmission spotters guide, I do not see a listing for that transmission in that year model truck. Interested in hearing what you experts have to say.

The 4R100 is a later version of the E4OD. They continuously updated the E4OD through the 90's until they decided it was different enough from the very first E4OD to change the name. They share a lot of parts and engineering.
