460 Performance Problem

A friend of mine own's a 96 F250 Crew cab with a 460, automatic, 4wheel drive. The truck at time's feel's like it has no power. The engine feel's has thou it's straining to work. If it was an older truck I would think it was behind in time. The "Code's" have been read many time's, and the dealer's (4) can find no problem's. Has anyone experinced this problem? Did you correct it? How?

460 Performance Problem

You may have some drivetrain problems that make it seem like the engine is underpowered. Might look there if the engine seems to have no codes. My 91 ford did the same thing. All of a sudden I would have to stick the accelerator down to keep it moving. The trans finnally failed. It never made a noise and wasn't slipping.

Thank you for your reply. After reading it I remembered him saying that his transmission is acting funny also.
