There are tons of things on there that can help your truck out. Also....you might post a new thread with your question, you'll get alot more responses to it, rather then in another one. Welcome to FTE

Things you need to get started:
The E4OD and 4R100 transmission system holds almost 18 quarts of ATF, and you must waste a couple of quarts to be sure you get it all purged and replaced, so buy 20 quarts of MERCON ATF [do NOT buy MERCON V!]. Ford also warns against using a fluid that has a dual MERCON and MERCON V rating. ? You may use either conventional or synthetic,
This should help. Carroll
