My engine is just about shot. I have a 99 F250 Ld and was considering a remanufactured engine from a lightning and was wondering what would be involved in this swap? it would probably be the engine, trans(i don't think the stock one would handle it), and the wiring harness right?

 

stock wiring harness would work, just find an engine and tranny combo, you will be happy

 

just wanna say built your truck is sick. would putting a shift kit in help any or would i just blow it apart

 

If your stock tranny is a 4R100, it will handle it.

 

the e4od will also handle it.

 

the door code for the tranny is E so it's the 4r100 right? and the axle code is 26 so would the rear end handle the power?

 

Yes your rear will be good.
Your also going to need a tune for your computer!

i'm not sure about the rear end cause i think it's already on it's way out. it feels like it's loose but it's not a limited slip so it would need to be replaced anyways.

 

so i'm curious is it the 9.25 or the 10.5?

 

A 99 would have a 4R100, the last year of the E4OD was 98. Essentially the same tranny anyway.

The F250 LD should have a 10.25" rear.

 

what would recommend for a limited slip of locking rear diff?

 

a locked diff is hard on the tires for a go get the groceries ride.

great for racing

my opinion. sometimes good sometimes not

 

Stock Super Duty limited slip maybe?
