Could it be that simple? D'OH!!!

I'll try it next time I am cruising through town at a steady 35 or 36.

Thank you!


(If it blows up, I'll report back! LOL)

You just need 4.10s and a 5 speed. Empty in town I can do 30 in 5th no problem, unless I see a hill lol.

I've been paying attention to my 90 because of this thread. Mine hits 3rd right around 40 as well just fyi. It does seem a little wound up, but I'm too used to my manual and lower gearing in the dually.

This reminds me of the of the 5R55E which is from the C3 heritage. If you remember the mid to late 90s when Ford explorers were popular this trans would shift too early and smoke itself. When you start the vehicle it's default OD on. And the dealer would say to shut the OD off every time you start them unless you were going on a long highway trip.

The e4od is from the C6 heritage but also an early adaption of electronic control like the 5/4R55E

That does explain why those early Explorers always seemed to have transmission problems. Years ago,I had an old timer tell me that you should always take the transmission (automatic) out of OD while in town. He was talking about the AODs, but I would do the same thing with an E4OD.

@Selahdoor man I love reading this thread , I have the complete opposite problem , try using the OD button, that’s how I do it cuz my eye sore shifts early , otherwise aftermarket controller will fix that issue no sweat, but be careful what you wish for , if your empty you’ll be fine , loaded you’ll be sorry
The OD button ONLY turns OD off. (Or back on, if you have used the button to turn it off already.)

It is completely useless for changing the shift point, or causing OD to kick in at 35. (Instead of 40, as it does.)

I thought that would be the case, but had to go out and try it anyway. LOL

I'm here to learn, too. :D

I didn't notice any difference whatever, when I tried it.

Except that It wouldn't shift into OD at 40 or above, until I pushed it again, and turned off the little light.



BY the way, does the end of everyone's shift stalk look like mine, or is mine missing some kind of bezel or something?

Not likely to find THAT anywhere without buying the entire stalk...

It works, as-is.

If I run across one, I'll gladly install it. Otherwise, probably not worth the trouble.

Definitely not worth a trip to the pick and pull. (Cost of the trip and 'admission' alone, is a minimum of 30 dollars. Just not worth it for a little piece of plastic. Maybe if I were going there for something else. But I have no such need right now.)

If I head to the wrecking yard anytime soon I will be in the lookout for ya. Free there.
