Transmission died

So here I am driving away for the fuel station and then the tranny tries to shift and I hear and feel a loud clunk followed by no power. I have had no previous issues with the tranny but I believe it has not had any previous work done. The truck is an 02 7.3L with 200500 miles. I am guessing the torque converter is the culprit it still had very little forward motion when I tried to move the truck didn't matter what gear I was in. I intend to have the tranny beefed up but don't intend to go crazy, so my question is what reccomendations does any one have. I do tow an 11,000 lbs TT on a fairly regular basis and have a PHP 6 position switch which can be set for as much as 120 hp from stock but don't do any hot rodding. I am mostly just looking to beef it up and provide as much strength towing. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

It's not top of the line, but it's cheaper than top of the line: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/m...02-hd4r100.png

Thanks for the links. Im hoping to not need to replace the tranny. It did give me some info on what parts to beef up. Any one else have any input?
