Ultimate Guide to 4R100 Transmission: Torque, Maintenance, and Expert Tips

Hey there, Truck Fans!

Ever wondered what your truck's transmission can really handle? Or maybe you're just looking to keep your trusty steed running smoothly for years to come. Well, you've come to the right place!

Unleashing the Powerhouse: 4R100 Torque Capacity

Let's talk about the 4R100 transmission, a real workhorse found in many Ford trucks. This beast can handle a massive 325 ft-lbs of torque! That's more than the 4L60E (300 ft-lbs) and 4T65 (200 ft-lbs) combined!

Keeping Your Transmission Happy: The Maintenance Lowdown

Want to keep your Ford truck's transmission in tip-top shape? Of course, you do! Here's the expert-recommended maintenance schedule:

Fluid Changes

  • Every 30,000 miles (heavy-duty use might need it sooner, so check your owner's manual!).

  • Always use Ford-approved fluid for optimal performance.

Filter Changes

  • Every 60,000 miles to ensure smooth, seamless shifting.

Inspections

  • Every 10,000 miles (and more often for those who work their trucks hard!).

  • We'll check fluid levels, inspect for leaks, and give your transmission a thorough once-over.

Need a flush or some band adjustments? No problem, we've got you covered!
