Both my 97 and 98 Expeditions had E4ODs.
I know of these from working at a brake shop for a few years. we had a customer with one. My dads truck is all F150, 5 lugs and all. It was special ordered to work as a horse hauler for the beginning of its life. It's NOT a Lariat, but has been upgraded to Almost Lariat trim.
Better for it than a 4.6/4R70W.
They must have been much more generous with the heavier trans earlier on. When I was shopping for a '99-'03 it was either a 7 lug truck or a heavily optioned Supercrew to get the 4R100. 7 lugs are uncommon not to be beat to crap and I didn't want a Supercrew.
Like I said, all I know is that is was special ordered, this truck did not come off the lot, it was delivered for the original owner.
Your dad has one, Rusty has had two and talking with my brother in law over the weekend he had a 98 with the heavier transmission too. All pre-99 too.
