alright 93 f150 5.0
i know a bone stock aod couldnt handle much more than a stock engine. but my trans is a reman from rmp(it says motorcraft) and its suppose to have all the updates done to it. how much hp/tq should it be able to handle without a problem?

 

What tranny?

The 4R70W/AODE is rated for 700 ft-lbs at the input shaft but you have to factor out the torque converter so figure on somewhere around 320-350 ft-lbs from the engine. For the E4OD, it's 1000 ft-lbs at the input shaft so somewhere around 450-500 ft-lbs from the engine.

Because of the weak 2 piece input shaft the old AOD was a lot lower, probably somewhere around 300 ft-lbs.

 

aod

 

hmmm. alright. well i'm at or over 300 ftlbs right now at the crank. oh well if it breaks when the warranty is over i'll put in a 5 spd. thank you

 

If you can live without the lockup torque converter, put in an upgraded AOD with a one-piece input shaft and all the performance bits and pieces. Properly built an AOD will take whatever you throw at it.

 

yea. but i would like o/d. i think i might just swap in the heavy duty zf5 if i have a problem with this aod. plus IMO first gear sucks for bottom end with a 302. originally i thought i had an aode but i got looking at it and i have a tv cable and no harness so i assumed it is the aod.

 

You do not lose the OD with the one-piece shaft, you merely lose the lockup feature. It still has four forward gears. Additionally some of the aftermarket valve bodies allow a WOT 3-4 upshift which the stock valve body will not allow.

Toy need to do some research. Check out Art Carr and Lentech for starters.

 

alright i'll look into. thanks
