Hey Tom, I finally had everything working and looking new on my truck and we were in Arkansas for 11 days on vacation and on the way home yesterday my ATO E4od trans started slipping in overdrive and 3rd gear I cleared codes but it came right back and started heating up so I pulled over and unhooked boat and towed it with a f150 at 55 for 250 miles home, after sitting and idling for 20 minutes temp came down on f250 and I had my wife drive it home after clearing codes and making sure it would go, it never set codes again and made it home at 55mph I never drove it again, she said it was making some whining noise sometimes but got home. I don't have but about 40,000 on this and paid a lot of money for it before I even new the names of BTS or John Woods, I don't know for sure what I am going to do. My question to you is I thought I have read that a 4r100 will work in a 1996 if you just leave the two speed sensors unhooked. do you know or remember if this is true??
