I have a 1997 Expedition 4x4 w/5.4 and e4od transmission.
Before my expedition, I owned several powerstrokes and IDIs and was active on related forums w/mods etc.
I am not a fan of the e4od transmission and am skeptical of owning another e4od. In the powerstroke world, most people install extra transmission filters (in line style), an upgraded transmission cooler (I installed one out of a 6.0 into my 95 powerstroke), and gauges to monitor trans temp...especially while 4x4ing/towing (how I burned up an e4od)
(filter like this: http://www.dieselsite.com/dieselsitetransmissionfiltersystemford1994-199773l.aspx)
My question is, what do most people in the exped world do to help ensure the longevity of their e4ods? Are filters/upgraded coolers even required on an expedition? (being so much smaller than an F350). How do most people on this forum handle the higher trans temps while 4x4ing and towing?
thanks
