E350, is that a van? Gasoline or diesel? How long you plan on keeping it?
Sorry for the info lack. 1995 E-350 Cargo van. 5.8L 173,000 miles Plan on keeping it until I cant make her go anymore
Well, I'm going to throw you one from left field. Very expensive, but you won't destroy it. Lubrication Engineers 1150 ALL-TRANS.
I am looking at all options. Type, Brand, Best suited.
Merc V, Multi Visc, Chevron MD3, Amsoil, etc.

What does your trans/man recommend?
We were debating fluid types. I am adding a higher stall DACCO converter, a Sonnax Sure cure kit, new Friction and steel.
Except for hotrodding (toy cars), I don't understand why you'd want a higher stall converter. Won't it generate significantly more heat? Doesn't seem good for transmission life, especially in a work vehicle. After all, you have a large displacement v8, not a 4 cylinder torqueless wonder.

The Torque converter is a HIGHER stall over stock, its an RV type convertor. Nothing erratic. Will help with getting it into power band a little sooner.
