e4od problems
just looking for some advice here, 96 f250 trans temp code came up on the scanner and 4th gear was slipping, the trans shop said they cleared the code and it's not doing it no more, what would cause that code to trigger. All the driving today was 3 miles to work and back.. didnt even warm the truck up either way. so what should I look for in this issue? Thanks Jack

Maybe it was just a gremlin. If it returns you might be looking at a rebuild. Our e4od's are the weak link in a great powertrain.
Did it feel like it was slipping? Usually when it senses slippage it will go into "limp-in-mode" and have harsh shifts with a blinking OD light.
Have you replaced the ATF and filter lately? It might help or at least slow down the process.

I'm having something similar to your situation. My tranny shop guys think it might be due to slipping torque converter clutches. With 129K on the odometer, if I pull the tranny to replace the TC, I'm rebuilding the tranny, too.
When this happens, she's not throwing any codes. I pull over to the side of the road and shut down or shut down at a red light, restart, and no more problem for awhile. Last time I had to do this was late-January.
