'93 F-150 build

For you and your truck, keep it basic for now. I.e., no RMVB. If ford transmissions are like GMs, you can use the 2wd housing and internals, but you will need to swap out the tailshaft. This basically requires taking the whole ****ing transmission apart. Its not "hard" but can be intimidating since most people believe automatic transmissions work on voodoo and magic smoke. I have done this twice on GM TH400's and both worked, so take that for what its worth. The Hayne's transmission manual is suprisingly thorough, so that might be worth picking up. You can read through and look at the pictures before deciding if you are up to the challenge.

ford and chevy transmissions are 2 different animals. chevy is easy. ford, not so much. Ford is probably the hardest out of the big 3 brands to rebuild. not saying you couldnt do it on your own. Just would get a second opinion

I can't find a 4wd E4OD in San Antonio, so I was thinking of just getting a 2wd E4OD and the driveshaft and putting it in my truck until I can rebuild my transmission and just leave the transfer case and front drive shaft off until the rebuild is complete. Thoughts?

I would bet between the 2 pick a parts (LKQ's) in houston, you could fins one E40D 4x4 tranny.

I went to Roosevelt u pull it and Pick N Pull today. Neither of them have a 4x4 E4OD in the yard. I might go back to Pick N Pull for some real nice seats though.

ill let it go for $200 and u get an extra t-case with it. There are about 30k on it and have no clue of its status, but it should last u a fem more

PM sent. Just for reference, what year model is the E4OD from?

I'm guessing there should be some sort of cover here. I would imagine having my flywheel and torque converter exposed to all of the mud and sh!t I've taken my truck through would be bad for these components. So should there have been a cover here?

yes there is a cover for that. It is a thin piece of metal. At least there is on an AOD

Yeah, go rob it fron a junk yard, remember junk yards have a "special sale" this weekend, if you can put it in your pants, its free.

If you can't find one, I have one for a C6, don't know if it will fit.
