Hi all,
As a newbie in this Forum and a newbie on any automobile technics I have a question that you might be able to answer.
Let me first introduce myself shortly. My name is Rainer and I live in Germany. Here I bought last year a TripleE-Regency Motorhome built on a Ford E350 econoline base with the 7.3l Diesel and the E4OD transmission.
Bought it last year and after 300km the tranny broke down completely and was overhauled for a lot of money....
Speaking to a couple of guys with some knowledge I often hear the E4OD is pretty much overloaded with a 6 ton motorhome. So good thing to do is keep OD off if the road is ascending and in general "drive carefully and be aware it is not going to last too long"
I have built in an additional oil - cooling system and keep on hoping that everything is fine. But always with a little bit of sweat in the face when travelling through mountains or even park on a height leveller....
So now I found this Banks Transcommand thing which should keep the shifting more firm and avoids a part of the slippage .
Is there anyone who has similar issues or fears and has built in a Kit from Banks and can share his experience?
BTW: Apologies for any typos, is a foreign language for me, be patient with myself when asking silly things : Maybe I just didn't get the answer[emoji4] .
Rainer
Liebe Grüße
Rainer
