E4OD BAD tranny leaks
Hello, I have a 96 f-350 4wd. I had the tranny rebuilt (complete rebuild, my understanding) 80k ago, it blows fluid out of the front pump seal, just like it did 80k miles ago, I don't understand, I don't beat on the truck, & it is mostly driven on the weekends. When I do pull a trailer it is a 16' with 1,or 2 4 wheelers on it, or taking the boat to the to the ramp. I do have the understanding that heat is causing this, oh yea, this all started when I put 35" tires on it, it had 33"..... really 2". When it cools off it does not leak until the tranny gets hot again, do you think I could put a larger tranny cooler on it, or do I need another freaking rebuild??? SOOOO FRUSTRATING

one of my buddys had 35s on his truck and has to rebuild his tranny cause of the tires but thats only if you get a stock rebuild in your tranny
|
do you have a temp gauge? What temps have you been seeing when it starts throwing fluid?
|
not trying to change topic but who has noticed when spring rolls around or sometimes fall when the outside temps start to rise or fall stuff starts to fail and leak or break ect.
As for the tranny get a gauge to check the temps |
Uh-oh.. this is worrying me. I just went up from 33's to some heavy mud-tire 35's about 2 mos ago, and drive the truck occasionally. Should I be expecting tranny problems???

Well MY trans is stock. Should I be worried???
|
No...
|
Ok thanks

If no need to worry why did mine start spitting fluid out, It has a 50HP programmer in it, 3" down pipe, open exhaust, open element air cleaner, & 35's. seams to me that A stock e4od will not hold up to those miner mods. then there is a need to worry.
