I want to get a older 1 ton truck (90's). Anyone had any experience with the lifespans of the 4l80e or the Ford hd tranny (EOD??).
I know our Ford buckettrucks that the company bought in 90-91 were only good for about 30,000 (hard) miles between rebuilds.

I had a 4L80E in my 99 HD, sold the truck yesterday 90K miles never gave me any problems. Don't over heat them and change ALL the trans fluid on a regular schedule and most auto trans will last a good long time. Heat is the killer, if you don't have a trans temp gauge put one in and keep an eye on it. The AOD's here at work never make 20K, but that's a mine for you?

Did you tow a lot of heavy loads w/ it? I know you can't tow in o/d w/ the 700rs and 4l60e but can you do it with the bigger trannies?

If you want it to last forever, Kevlar bands and clutches and a good shift kit. Some may require a little more mods than others....

My 1 ton endevors might already be on hold. I think my wife is letting me know that she wants a suburban. The tranny info is still good though I'll just be looking at the 4l60e stuff.

And since it needs to be torn down for that, may as well add a little extra and set the clearances right!.. :good

It had a welder, compressor, 6 compressed gas cylinders, tool boxes w/tools and all the other things that go allong with a welding/service truck. I would say that it was @20 to 22K with all my crap on it. Thats just the truck, I also pull a 16' trailer to haul the material. On the freeway I towed in OD but in town I kept it out of OD.

Its rough on the outside and the front seat is showing some wear. I've put a lot of new parts on it in the last year. But I'm not asking a ton of money for it. Something near $3500 would buy it.
