The E4OD in my 97 F-250 may need a rebuild. Are there any shops in town that do a good job of this?

There's a tranny shop right behind Walmart on Southwest that rebuilds transmissions. Dunno how good they are, but I know they do it.

There's also the place right off of 83/84 & S 3rd, next to Sullivan's Powdercoating...

That would be Fain's Automotive and yes they are expensive but they do good work.

Sorry, I clicked the wrong quote. The one that Richard is talking about is Fains. The one behind Wal-Mart is Ronnie Smith Transmission.

I should know the name of that one behind WalMart, I have driven by it on my way home from work for the last 4 years...

Ronnie Smith's website says $1500 to rebuild the E4OD, is that fair, or too much?

i'd bet you could buy a rebuilt off ebay, internet somewhere for less. Then again I'm used to c4/c6 rebuilds in the 300-500 range.

Better yet get another cheapo to toss in for now then learn to rebuild one yourself...

You could buy a NEW one for that much...

Look around dude. Maybe not BRAND new, but you could more than likely find a rebuilt or re-manufactured one somewhere for that much.
