Gear Change or Shift Kit
I have a 97 Offroad F150 and wanted some input on whether to get a shift kit or a gear change? Also how do I identify my automatic transmission? Please advise any help will be greatly appreciated.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 30-Dec-00 AT 10:06 PM (EST)[/font][p]You already have a chip. If you are not happy with the performance improvement it provides to your transmission, then you are looking at a gear change. I don't know how that will affect your 'puter. They do not recommend installing a shift kit with a chip -and you don't need to.
The ID for your tranny is on the driver side door pillar. At the bottom toward the right TR= tranny. E is for the E40D.

No, I do not. How high are your current gears? And what are you looking for? If you are looking for 3.55 or lower I'd look at a salvage yard if they have them.
