So either my torque converter or the tc pump are on the way out so I'm collecting parts for that job.

Well I can't find any solid info about what will and won't work with my transmission.

97 Expedition 4x4 5.4L and the VIN code comes up with an E4OD transmission.

Yet everywhere I look (except rock auto of all places) that transmission is supposed to be a 4R100. While supposedly the 4R100 is an upgraded version sure, but if I'm rebuilding it I need the right parts.

Are there any differences physically between the torque converters?

I found a good used tc on Craigslist for next to nothing and it's a 4 bolt. What questions should I ask?

Can a older diesel tc work in mine, does it need to be gas? I can't find any info on them.
