I had some sort of funky overdrive trans in my 81 Ford 1/2 ton..Made worse fuel milage in OD than drive.Motor would lug bad in OD...

 

IIRC I had an AOD in a late 80s F150 when I was a punk kid or maybe it was a C6

 

Mine was the E4OD I had a 5.0 in mine. I imagine his truck would be the same.

 

yes e4od 93 to 95,, in 95 they changed the electronics slightly, just enough that the plugs dont fit

 

How much did they charge you?

 

1800.... the original owner did it as the transmission was slipping bad however when i was pricing out 4r100's (same transmission basically) they wanted 2400 this year so...

everyone else was telling me upwards of 2100-2200 when I was pricing them out, the old guy said if i found a place reasonable he would do it for me and add the cost to the purchase price (the truck was a good looking unit I didnt want it to go to waste)

 

Just saw this on kijiji. The electronics could be the later style, but i'm sure they could be swapped out of the wrecked tranny, especially for the price of this one.

Try these guys. They have a decent collection of vehicles in Dimsdale;

I believe the owners name is Elliot.

 

Wow Kurtis that is a good deal,, I am going to call them tomorrow.. if it works even a little bit it might get him out of the winter

 

I just sent a message to the dimsdale guys

 

ya if theres one thing that truck doesnt have, its any sort of mileage.

 

Did you find a tranny yet Kevin???

 

Yes, the one I got off of Kijiji turned out to be a steal. Picked it up for 200 seems to work perfect so far,, (knock on wood) so right now everything is good in my sons world

 

I know this is kinda thread jacking, but I was riding in the copter coming out camp today. I had a quick lesson in the cab of copter. We get air born, the guy start showing me the difference on the two stick controls in the air. We land at the Highlevel airport, a ex-miltary trainer rolling thru onto the strip. We land the copter 50ft from the plane. I must have drooled, I was told that plane was $3.5 million, and the guy was taking it out for a rip. Its a two seater.

 

OK, good to hear Kev.
