Scott K Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes it should be the same as long as it is the same tranny, (E4OD, C6, ect.) and if they are both 2wheel, or both 4wd.By the way, trannis go out in old GM's as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy airjer W Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 We deal a lot with Johns. Although there have been a few intense conversations over the years on the integrity of the items we have received, they have always taken care of us in the end!!

TUMBLEWEED Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Dragged it back from Isle. Got to looking at a fewthings. First off, the tranny will not hold the truck when in Park. It can still roll freely. Secondly, ifI start the motor and move the gear shift to drive,there is a slight pull on the motor, but I cannot shift back into park while it's running. Sounds like the flywheel ismoving. We are guessing the chain in the transfer isthe culprit. I have heard a rattling while the truck was running, but wrote it off to old age/condition. Itwas most likely the chain rattling around in thetansfer case. Much easier fix I hope...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUMBLEWEED Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 I bought it used from a buddy. It had a recent rebuilttranny (2K installed), so I was hoping it was good for a whileat least. Maybe the "rebuild" was done on a Friday!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 See if there is warranty on the rebuild. Most places atleast have a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUMBLEWEED Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Good point. We looked at it last night,and have a theory.It's the E4OD model. This is an electronic controlledtransmission. The failure sympton was: strange noiseat the lifting of the throttle. As long as you keptthe rpms up and moving, it ran fine. (It sounded likethe torque converter wasn't staying locked up,or synced)It would only do this ocassionally,and always atthe slowing of the vehicle.Then went it went outcoming home (slowing to 30MPH in Isle, it went to nolock-up at all). Our theory is that something within the electronics isnot working. The central on board computer managesthe following functions: gear selection,gear changeharshness, torque converter lock-up, and coast control.It does this by an internal solnoid body. This assemblyconsists of 5 solnoids. We think one of these is bad,sometimes not releasing (strange mashing noise) and now not engaging (current condition).Of course this is only a theory!! The whole thing couldbe fried. I am hoping the force is with us on this one.Gotta pull some harnesses and take some readings withmy tri-corder tonight. Geeez, it's a crazy world downhere. And I quote from the starfleet manual...."The E4OD transmission is fully automatic,electronicallycontrolled, four speed unit with locking torque converter"I'd rather be fishing, Beam me out Scotty..............

Scott K Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Is the fluid burnt? Does it smell like it got hot? Is it full? If it smells hot, or burnt it is not a electronic problem, if it looks clean, smells clean, then there is a good chance it is electronic, or a seal leak.

rmk600 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I had a 89 f150 that had a new transmission put in it right before I bought it. It worked great until one day she made a pop noise and I lost everything. I had a transmission guy look at and found that the torque converter just barely touched the pump dogs and should have been shimmed to fit better, after a pump and torque converter it ran perfect.

TUMBLEWEED Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Fluid is nice and red, and there are no leaks.The truck used to be a daily driver, but nowI only use it for the occaisional tow rigor ATV hauler. It might even be the cableharness or connector?? Many tech logs have thatlisted as also a cause for failure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I think at this point, it would be wise to bring it in to a shop and have in diagnosed professionally, it could save you a lot of money replacing good parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
