will be appreciated

I'll start with one.

How can I tell if my transmission is AOD or AODE on my 1993 F150? I was told if I have an overdrive button on the shifter then its AODE. Is that correct?

dr_bowtie

yep true....

the AOD is an Automatic overdrive...it has no electrics...and the converter lock up is manual...

ok thanks Dr. Bowtie. I will say there were some harness on the top of my transmission that had some Electronics so I wasn't sure. So my shifter in my 1993 has no overdrive button so its an AOD right?

Now get ready I'm about to post a big ass post of thoughts, questions, pondering, and pissed off thoughts.

Ok. Next question. A little background info first. Skip to the bottom if you want. LOL

I have a 1993 Ford F150 that I am putting a 331 Stroker into. Ok there's that. I need to convert to MAF. I know that. Ok. So I have a 1996 OBD2 ECU and a 1996 Wiring harness. The ECU is dealing with a Manual Tranny. So that's why I was hoping my 1993 tranny was an AOD.

So now I have the 1996 OBD2 Harness in my truck and ECU. We have on my 331 some connection issues. For example the EGR sensor and some other connectivity problems.

Can someone give me a rundown on the differences between the 1993 and the 1996 as far as whether my sensors and such off the 1993 will work with the 96 harness. Also the differences between the two year models

Now the only reason I have the 1996 OBD2 ECU is because of the MAF conversion.

I'm thinking now the 1996 OBD2 isn't gonna work at all. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to change the entire wiring inside the cab as well

I'm running into problems. Would it be better for me to go to pull-a-part tomorrow and get a wiring harness/ECU off a 1995 with Mass Air. Can I expect that harness to connect to my 1993 engine and truck connections. Now this is assuming my tranny is an AOD. I imagine the truck I get the Mass Air off of will have to have the same trans as mine if I have an AODE. So I might have to pull a transmission as well. Damnit.

The bottom line is I have a 1993 F150 with the Map. I have a new 331 Stroker I'm putting in. I Need the MAF upgrade. Whats the best route. Get the MAF from a 87-93 Mustang and ECU assuming my trans is an AOD. If that is the case I might have to find a way to splice into my Factory 1993 Wiring harness and ECU. Hmmm. Get the MAF, wiring harness/ECU, and transs off a 95 F150. If that has a different Trans.

So basically my 1996 OBD2 Harness and ECU will not work at ALL. That sucks ass.

I need guidance. Lol. I have to start pulling **** in the morning.

I guess I need to just do this

Ok, the AOD doesn't have the overdrive button on the shifter and it has a cable from the tranny to the trhottle body to help control shifting. I'm not very familiar with the AODE but it would be electronically controlled without the cable. I thought the AODE wasn't used much in the F150s but I'm not sure. Then the E4OD which also is electronically controlled and has the overdrive button on the shifter. The '96 harness will be a pain to use because it's OBDII, but you can use the harness from a '94-'95 5.0 with an automatic transmission. The '94-'95 5.0 manual trucks didn't have MAF, they still used MAP.

Thanks a bunch Sean

So tomorrow I'm gonna get a 94 F150 and pull the Harness, the Mass air Meter, and the ECU. Oh my EGR Tube broke. They heated it up to bend it to fit it around the tall valve covers. So there's that. I guess I'm gonna have to pull a new EGR tube. Would the EGR sensor on a 94 be the same as a 93?

IDK how I'm gonna get a new EGR tube to work with having heat it up and bend it. There is a spacer to "raise" my lower intake and upper intake one inch that will probably give me the clearance I need but then the Upper Intake won't clear with the hood. So yeah..... Idk

So with the 94 Harness going in my 93 I shouldn't have too many more problems as far as everything connecting?

Just call me Sean

The EGR position sensors are color coded so if it's the same color then I would think it will work. I'm not sure about the other sensors but I guess if it will plug in it should work. My wiring diagrams show the same color wires to the sensors for both years so there's a good chance they will work.
