E4OD vs. 4R100

[Jake]

How interchangeable are e4od's and 4r100's? I thought you could put a 4r in an OBS and it would work fine, but what about putting an e4 in an SD? Reason i ask, since Nicks OBS was totaled, another buddy of ours wants to put his ATS stage 6 into his SD. I'm not 100% sure the ats is a e4, but if it is, will it work in an SD?

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work but before I did it I would study the wiring diagrams from both trucks to make sure all the wires are in the same connector positions.

i heard the wiring was different. but dont qoute me on that.

[Jake]

Anyone know for sure?

[Jarrod B]

well the only logic i have is if there wasnt a reason for a name change on a trans that looks similar.... why not put the e4od in from factory? theres something different somewhere to have to require a name change.

plus i was going by what i heard from past threads long time ago.

[Jake]

Better internal parts. I know the cases are the same, or damn near the same enough to call it the same.

[JSchuricht]

You would need to pull the trans apart and swap parts. The E4OD is missing a few sensors needed for the SD. You can't run at least one of the sensors without pulling the whole thing apart and doing some major work.

[Jake]

So it's a definite no go? How major is the work? Something a regular joe with regular tools and a decent amount of mechanical ability can do?

[Jarrod B]

seems like no bueno dood
