E-450 tranny service?
2005 E-450 with a V10 and what I think is a 4R100. It has 31'XXX miles, and my father is asking what should be done. This is a Class B+ van front motorhome. Flush? Drain'filter, fill?
Thanks (not interested in asking the masses)

Its probably the 5R100 if I had to guess. You could certainly do a drain/filter job. A flush would probably be overkill for only 31k miles. The filter is probably 10-12 dollars along with a gallon or two of ATF and you should be all set.

And there are two 'filters.'
One is a suction screen which is R&R'd by dropping the transmission pan.
The other is a bypass filter 'toiletpaper' in a bowl alongside the transmission.
Note that that bowl can be a tough nut to unscrew.

Hi LarryThe answer is torque capability, and apply the same to your 115.
I forget where I came upon this:
As for the 110, that represents 1100 lb-ft, but that's AFTER the torque converter multiplies engine torque by 1.9:1. That means it can take about 580 lb-ft of engine torque.
