Trans Rebuilds will depend on how you drive it and the current condition of your transmission...

If you drive it like a raped ape with an intake exhaust and chip, you could still wreck your tranny... If your worrried about it, don't drive like a nut and do the mods you want to do.

 

My 2001 made it to 21k before I cooked the tranny...LOL

 

a raped ape. No I baby it most of the time.

21k? Ouch. With what mods...

 

Chip and intake... I dont think I had done the exhaust yet, but that was a while ago.

 

dude are you kidding me? You toasted an auto with a damn chip and intake? Ugggg. Great.

 

Lol... My uncle's father in law just had his 01 auto go out at around 70k stock... According to my paperwork, my trucks tranny went out at around 160k stock... They are just a weak link.

 

FML. I'm gonna call the tranny shop tomorrow and ask if the trans is only a pos stock Ford rebuild

 

Again... I think you might be overthinking it... With a chip, intake, and exhaust, you won't be pushing much more than 220-230 rwhp. Drive it respectfully and you shouldn't have a problem.

 

Ya probably.. I tend to think too much

 

You have to remember I have a 2001 which came from the factory with a mechanical diode in the tranny, they were known for failure issues.

My 95 never had the tranny go out in over 200k, my 97 lasted until 120k and then until 270 when I sold it. My 99 was at about 170k when I broke the rear drive shaft and that took out the tranny case.
