I am a new poster but have been learning here for quite a while. I have a 95' f350 4x2, 7.3 turbo, crew cab, flatbed, 165K miles. Door code (E) indicates the transmission is E40D. The transmission was rebuilt 2 years ago by incompetent shop. (live and learn). Have had it back numerous times with mediocre results. I don't get a flashing OD light but the shifting is pretty iffy, hot, cold, forward, reverse sometimes it is great, sometimes nothing. Scanner reads, I believe code 1728, transmission slippage detected. I have the opportunity to buy a used E40D from a 96 F 150 at a very affordable price, is it a bolt up interchange? It is supposed to 82k miles on it. I can have it rebuilt if needed and get the mods that are recommended. Interested in you feed back.

Thanks!

 

Nope, gas/diesel different bells

 

x2 gotta get one from another diesel

 

Thanks for the feedback. That is why I read here, a lot of good folks with a wealth of knowledge and willing to share!

 

Check this out, this is my next major upgrade

I would love to get more information about allison for a 7.3 powerstroke if i could. I have a 97 F-250 ex-cab 4x4 auto. i dont what you need to help me out but if you could get back to me that would be great.

 

If that is the same allison that comes with a d-max it wouldn't be an upgrade IMO. That trans has about as much trouble as a stock e4od on our diesels.

$800 for the adapter. $2000+ for a used trans, another $2000 for a rebuild and $1600 for the controller....your money would be better spent on a BTS e4od rebuild.
It's bullet proof....with an unmatched warranty. $4000-5500

 

I'd have to agree Jim, seems that getting the shift control would be the main problem???
The E4OD has a lot of valve body problems and can ne an easy fix in many cases.

 

Same here! It would be a waste of time and cash!
The problem with the E4/4R is it is as missunderstood as the PSD is.

Just my .02

I agree on the Allison. All it has is a name going for it!

Bill good to see you around! I was begin to wonder where you were!

 

i agree as well, it doesnt take that much money to get a bulletproof FORD tranny. i have never been an allison fan to begin with. give me a stick anyday. i never liked the allison shifts, especially in the duramaxs.
