which trans?
LMC TRUCKS: Search results for: '1998 Ford F150 Pickup 4WD'
Limited search data, so "No results".I have a 1998 F-150 XLT 5.4 L auto trans- 4WD. Inside driver's door on B pillar: trans code "E". Please tell me the transmission if you really know. I need to order Trans Position Switch. Ford gave me "No results". I think they do not recognize anything that old. Is it a 4R100 or a 4R70W? Thanks!

1998 TRANS code "E" = E4OD per factory service manual.
4R100 didn't come out until the '99 model year (late 1998 )
Transmission Codes
- U — automatic 4R70W-AOD (Econoline, F-150, F-250, Explorer/Mountaineer)
- E — automatic E4OD (Econoline, F-150, F-250)
- M — five-speed manual overdrive (F-150, F-250, Explorer/Mountaineer, Ranger)
- D — automatic five-speed (Explorer/Mountaineer, Ranger)
- T — Automatic four-speed (Ranger)

From: Alaska
97-98 with an E code transmission is an E40D, or late 98 is an 4R100. The tag on the side will have an F75 for the starting digits, makes it a E40D. If it has F85, it is a 4R100. Doesn't matter in 97-98 if it's 5 or 7 lugs. The 5.4 only came with the big trans. In 99 they lightened up the trucks and most had the 4R70.
