Message: [QUOTE="old man dave, post: 1505059, member: 1009"] One of the reasons for more E4OD failures is that there are a lot more E4s out there than ZFs. There are also a lot of crappy auto rebuilders out there also. Try out a BTS or John Wood, they do not shift anywhere like a stock unit and are far more durable also. My brother had a local shop modify his E4OD with "heavy duty stuff" for $3000, 40K miles later, the trans was kaput. My $3400 BTS install at the same time was still going strong with stageIIs driven hard. What's worse is that my brother's truck was only a stock turbo IDI. You are correct about the driving differences between a stick and an auto. When my buddy swapped a stick for his auto, the truck gained 1.5mpg over the same 400 mile trip towing his small five'er. Also better coasting speed control on the downhills. But, as I have posted before, 6 months later, the auto (now modified with valve body and Precision TC) was back in. Seems that his left leg was getting more tired than he recalled when he was a kid. And freeway stop-n-go is killer with a stick. [/QUOTE]
