You son of a beach.

Correction, feel pretty. I can not comment on his look.

Don't be mad because he likes to look pretty.

And yes I was typing E4zeroD and it should be E4ohD Thanks for the catch Seth. Makes searching more effective.

So fucking weird. The Ford info page, Wikipedia, and the ford truck forum all pointed to the E40D. If the modular Ford 5.4 doesn't mate up, then how the Fuck did the 97 expy have an E40D trans. If I get under the thing can I tell? It could be a sensor or something too, I believe it could be just that. I once had a similar problem when the dash shit on me. If the PCM is gtting wet again I'm going to freak the Fuck out.

One of the guys here did that to their house, I love it. Took out 3? walls, put in 4 MASSIVE skylights in the kitchen, huge table, built in corner diner style seating, outdoor grill area, nice big fireplace/hearth at the end of the kitchen table, center island, etc. Sounds nice!

Says mercon, but the trans designation on the door jamb says it's the E40, as the 100 didn't get put on the expeditions until 98.

Door jamb says TR code E

Ryan I was sure it was the E40D Where can I find the tag indicating the tranny?

I was Fucking with you... But, damn if I don't forget your place is so big. It is a ninja for those square feet.

Always the simple things we think of last.

Forums are hard to read. Most guys just suggest some builder and that is that. :-)

no E4OD. It's the 100 or 70. Both pretty good, easily built, and many vendors building them. Get on the Ford truck forums and see what people are using for a similar setup. I really wouldn't bother building it though unless you build the engine. then you have to beef everything else up, and IIRC you have 4WD, so add the transfer case too...Been cruising the forums. And yes, I want to do the T case too. Just been waiting for something major to break so I can explain to the wife why we are eating ramen. "Baby, we took it apart and everything is fucked." It also helps that she kind of thinks a transmission for big trucks can cost $5000. Not sure how or where she had that number, but who ever lied to her in the past makes it nice for me to pad the budget.

No you don't. I'll come over and drink your wine.

And you want a smaller house?

I don't know if there is an all in one TCM and ECM..... I bet there is....

Pretty cool man, pretty damn cool. I wish I would have stuck with an instrument. First chair in sax for all of elementary for state etc. Dropped it in middle school when they handed me a tarnished fucked up sax. No $$$ to get my own and I was a spoiled fucker by that point.

The 4r100 would probably be overkill even, and maybe able to be hooked up without. Better MPG with the 6 I bet....

A local place makes a complete engine management system. I don't know if it includes auto trans functionality, but I have thought about just having all the comfort handled by the GEM and doing a 100% detached management system.Not sure if it would solve the problem or not.... My buddy uses it for his jeep as it's a ton more usefull.

.....hmmmmm maybe one of those POS all in one CD/tape/radio players. I will look tonight.

1997 5.4 4wd.

I don't either. Also don't know if I NEED to stick with the same transmission or if I could use one that is cheeper to buy, fully built, than just the upgrade parts for mine. I think it is the E40d or something and when I search that specifically it's a kings ransom. I know for sure, whatever I do, I will want to get a radiator for cooling it. I think mine died from heat.

Ok... So I am fairly certain my transmission will need to be fixed/rebuilt/replaced. I think this is as good of a point as any to park the expy and just turn it into a toy. Build the engine, whole drivetrain, suspension etc. I just have no Fucking clue about transmissions. Can any transmission hook up to the engine? Is it better to buy parts and have it rebuilt, and what brand..... I'm Fucking lost. Anyone have suggestions where I can learn about performance truck transmissions? Less towing, more offroady fun kind of transmissions...

Amazon maybe?? Have you tried that used music place in uptown? You could try giving them a call....

Fucking amazing.
