Snowplow-Proof Ford E40D Transmission
We’re building our ’97 Ford F-250 regular cab into a snowplow truck that we’ve begun referring to as Mr. Plow around the office. While this truck will never make more than 400 hp or see a dragstrip, we wanted to make sure its E4OD four-speed transmission was up to pushing snow and hauling trailers. That’s why we sent our E4OD to a transmission shop that’s surrounded by snow- covered mountainsATS Diesel. Follow along as we show you the internal features of an ATS Diesel-built Ford automatic transmission that’s backed by the industry’s only 5-year, 500,000-mile warranty.
| We pulled the original Ford E4OD transmission from our ’97 Ford F-250 and shipped it to ATS Diesel in a Scribner Plastics transmission container. Scribner’s rotationally molded polyethylene cases are superior to shipping expensive transmissions in cardboard boxes, and they don’t absorb ATF like wood crates. Plus, Scribner Plastics’ cases are available with a universal tray that will accommodate most transmissions and can even be ordered in custom colors.
