One thing about the trans I never could figure out is Ford builds a diesel pickup for towing and back in '93-'94 the guy from our shop I mentioned in another post comes out to my place in a like-new '92 with the E4OD and 7.3 that he just bought. He's complaining about what the trans does and he takes me for a ride and when he lets off the throttle at a wide range of highway speeds the thing free-wheels and gives you no deceleration braking at all. Then when he'd get back on the throttle, you could feel an instant split second deceleration as the converter locked back up. He hardly ever towed but he had to do a brake job about every other year. It would be interesting to know why they designed it that way, especially in a vehicle aimed at the towing market.
