trans codes, and over drive units (2 seprate ?'s)

[Cowboy_Customs]

Hey guys, got 2 questions for ya'll here.
1) any one ever heard of "dual range one" (has like this little r squared symol)
or maybe DNE? Im lookin at a truck with this, and cause its too wet to be crawlin round underneath it, I really dont have a clue about it. I looked at US Gear and one picture with a ford auto trans stick has the contoller on it, n the one on the truck is almost identical. other then taking it for a test drive how do i figure out if its under, or overdrive? Any one has experice with Us gear?
2) because Im always when I see it I dont even look to see what tranny it has! All I know is its trans code E on the door. Anyone know???

Thanks in advance!!

I didn't see any mention of the year of the vehicle you were looking at, but from the 1994 service manual:
G = C6
T = 4 Speed AOD (their wording, not mine)
E = E4OD
F,C,M,W are for manuals.

So I would suspect an E4OD...

I would like to hear what you think of the Sonnax valve once you have it installed.

Sorry about that, its an 89. I made a few calls today, n no-one wants to give me a loan fer 3500 bucks even with both trucks up fer collateral!! Maybe I can find a co-signer

I'll be sure to post what I think about that Sonnax for everyone, Im kind of debating weather or not I want to dig into the tranny, power steering, or finish the fuel system first. I really need to get that column from Bobby Blankenship while i got the tax money. So im thinking either end of this month, or fist weekend of april i'll have it in. Hmmm.... now that I think about it, I'll definatly have it in by the first weekend in april, otherwise Im not going to Geonc's pig roast!

Well, unless Bobby pulled it for you already, when I was there on the 5th he said the truck, what was left, was going to scrap yard that week. Better call him. OkieG

If it's an 89, you have 2 choices for trans (assuming it's a diesel). 3 speed C6, and 4 speed E4OD. The E4OD will have an OD lockout button on the end of the shifter, C6 will not. Also E4OD will have a FIPL sensor with wires coming out, C6 will have vacuum lines coming out.

Over or Under-drive, you pretty much have to drive and see where the RPM's go. You could ask the seller, but I find when people don't know the answer they make up a good sounding lie.

Still got the column, but I don't think it's a direct bolt on for the 89
