what trans?

[joethefordguy]

what transmissions did Ford put into the 2004 Expy police package with 4x4 and tow package?
I know the 4RW70 was used, any others?

Probably the only difference with the SSV may be a cooler in front of the radiator.

I believe the 4R75E came in 2005, but if you have a late 2004, you might check to see if you have it. You can probably decipher the tag somehow.

this is all it says for my VIN:
Trans Order Code 44E
Trans Type 4 4.0 min 4.0 max
Trans Description Cont. Automatic w/OD

that's it. i looked that up long ago. then I looked up "44E". still got nothing.

44E is Heavy Duty 4R100 tranny
44U is Reg Duty 4R70W

Are not directly interchangeable

thank you, thank you, thank you!!! you would not believe how difficult it has been to find this out.
Now, can you provide a source for this? does Ford publish it anywhere?
thanks for your time.

You'll have to hunt that info down.
4R100 uses different flywheel, ECM, TC + whatever else. You can check F150, Lightning forums, etc.
Diesel 4R100 is larger size altogether

I have looked everywhere I can think of. where did you find out? I'm not arguing about how the 4R100 is built, I believe you. I just want to know the source for your assertion that 44E code means the 4R100 trans. I have absolutely been unable to find that out. I'm hoping to learn something here that I obviously don't know.

 

[joethefordguy]

So, you don’t actually know what the 44E code means, do you?

 

[joethefordguy]

AHA!!!
got it.
the 44E = the 4R70 trans. NOT the 4R100.
so there.

ford part number for the 44E is 4L1Z7000DARM, AutoZone SKU is 710922.

on a side note, nothing burns my ass more than the damn ******** artists on these web sites. stop talking out of your ass, people. if you don't know, please don't pretend you know.
the site specifically exists to help people with information on our trucks, making shit up does not help. it's not like you're going to get a medal.

damn!

Double triple check any parts store info. I spent couple weeks looking for a 4R70W because online sites plus 2 different local auto parts stores told me that’s what I have in my 08. I finally got the exhaust down to see the sticker on my transmission. It’s an 8L1P code 2wd transmission. Ford parts vin decoder shows it to be a 6R75. Now with that new knowledge I’m searching junk yards and eBay again. This time it appears 99% of 8L1P code are 4x4 or built after 12/07. 7L1P appear to be coming out of 2wd pre 12/07 manufactured like mine. Was mine supposed to have had a 7L1P and this isn’t the original trans or is my 2wd King Ranch made 09/07 supposed to be an 8L1P 6R75 which I can not find this unicorn version in the used parts market.

thanks. mine is an 04. i spoke to a ford parts guy and the autozone web help desk. the question was never anything but "what does 44E mean"?
