new girl!

[chickiepickie]

I just bought a 1994 F350 turbo diesel 7.3L crew cab long bed 4x4 with brand new tranny, new pre-powerstroke, and whole new top end. So, being my first ford, HELP! It has overdrive 4 speed automatic. I read the manual on it (woohoo). I bought it from a close friend of the family who said it has an Allison in it, under warranty--IS THIS POSSIBLE? the tranny feels so smooth, i can't even feel it shifting, like a Mercedes. Already the electronic shift plate had to be replaced. ??? please forgive my ignorance!

Input and feedback please!

That pre powerstroke would be known as an IDI. Does it have a turbo or not? There were 3 different engines offered that year.

I thought the IDI's had C6's behind them?

 

[chickiepickie]

it is turbo--with an automatic OD 4Spd...just not sure which one?

look at the tranny pan draw the shape out and count the bolts. bring the info to NAPA and they should be able to match the pan to a tranny, if ya narrow the options to only a few....

Anything is possible but it did not come from the factory with a Allison. Someone may have installed it at a later date. If the truck is a early 94 it would be a IDI Turbo or if it is a late model 1994 then it is a PSD. The C6 transmission was a three speed so if yours is a 4 speed it is probably a E4OD.

By the way welcome to the site..

Hello chickiepickie and welcome to SSD.com I am sure you have the E4OD and that your truck would be a late 1994. The early ones only had 5 speeds in them. Please fill in your signature to let us know where you are from & post some pictues of your truck.
