Transmission Problem Maybe

Have an issue (maybe) that just seemed to pop up. When towing under acceleration hear a 'buzzing sound" from by the light switch (this has happened a couple of times), When I back off it stops. Also one time heard a "whining" sound (almost sounded like a slipping clutch on a manual). The sound sounded like it was coming from transmission hump. Had just backed off of (just topped a small hill). Truck is a 2002 F350 DRW with just over 107,000. Any Ideas? One other question on a Trailer that weights in around 13,000 (neck over). Under what conditions should I turn off OD and when can I leave it on?
Thanks for any help????

maybe your torque converter is going out? when towing upgrades it could be slipping slightly causing the sound your hearing

Ok, I know when the fluid was changed (just a few months ago) was told that there was no plug (so the T/C fluid couldnt be changed) Did have fluid and filter changed in the trans. Hate to ask this but if it is the T/C what is the cost ? Is there anything I should do special (do they make a beefed up one)? Again thanks for the info..
