hey, my ford has been really good to me, the only problem was an oil leak that mysteriously started after I went mobbing through the whoops on my way to comp hill

I hit my head on the roof a couple times there too

Warranty covered it but not without a fight. The oil pan and timing cover where leaking. I love the modular motors, they are sturdy and reliable as long as you didn't get one with the 4 threads holding the plugs in

and my 4r75w trans has been real good to me, can't say the same for the wife's E4OD trans (same as the 4r100 just lighter duty) the shifts suck and the 1st-2nd shifts gat all jumpy when its hot

Ford Trannies =

they've come a long way with the W trannies, although my '04 ranger had the 5r55w and drove great, but they filled it with the wrong fluid from the factory and at about 20,000 I was hitting my head on the window everytime it would shift. apparently I was so hard on it they replaced the tranny, the recall only called for a fluid change

I told the guys at the dealer that if they wanted to field test any more transmissions just let me know!

that trans was all better after that. I've heard some good things about the 5r110w too, but its still no alison.
One thing about the alison, a friend of mine just had his granade on him at 62,000 right when the warranty was up...

I think my next truck with be a dodge cummins w/ 6speed... indestructable, noisy and hard to drive...sounds perfect!

Allison does the same as toyota and honda, they invest a shitload of cash in good publicity. They all break.

Yeah but at least 1-5 will still work!! And no TC to worry about!

why would someone bring cummins with chewed 6th gear to a toyota shop ?

Because my store is Toyota Dodge Chrysler and Jeep and our other store is Nissan Ford Lincoln Mercury

My e40d in my 3/4ton 4wd truck with a measly 351W went thru a trans about every 40k. I put 3 trannys in that truck while i owned it. And the E4OD was the same trans used behind the diesels as well... A hunk of shit if you ask me

IIRC e4od is not the name of the tranny, it just means electronic 4 speed overdrive

ISBB · Post by **ISBB** » June 30th, 2008, 4:57 pm

the E4OD was a model of the trans that i had. and thats exactly what it meant and what it was named

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » June 30th, 2008, 4:58 pm

the 4r100 is an e4od, the one in my wifes car is a 4r100, but its the lighter duty one behind a 4.6l
the funny thing is that trans is supposed to be rated stronger than the 4r75w in my f-150, but the 4r75W is a real work horse, and the trans in the wifes car is a POS.

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » June 30th, 2008, 5:00 pm

the wifes expy shows 2 options, the 4r70 and E4OD, the E4OD being the 4R100
