what was the E40D's symptom(s) before you pulled it? positive it was a mechanical failure right?
down on your luck right now sucks,ain't that the way it always goes.somethings got to happen when your down to your last dollar.
you could slap a C6 in her for now to get ya by if ya have to,but ugg.you can't find a donor truck cheap or just a used E40D locally for now? you'd be further ahead if you could just find a used zf5,but that's not exactly cheap either.
id be hunting for a used diesel 4wd e40d really hard.likely no easy task there.
edit,
when the time comes.ask these guys about their warranty:

and if you can swing the extra when you get back in some $ in the spring,try and go with the triple HD converter.
double edit,
but be very careful before swapping this trans.a many E40D has been replaced needlessly.you know what happens when they replace a misdiagnosed E40D failure?....same exactly symptoms with the fresh trans because it was simply an electrical failure that then had to be addressed anyway.
correct diagnoses of this trans is vital to your wallet.
triple edit lmao;
keep your eyes on this........just in case:
