Hi from Alabama
Hi there! 
Nice site and full of great information! Not to mention the best TRUCKS EVER BUILT! I just my new truck well it's not new but new to me it's a 2001 F250 V10 4x4 xlt CrewCab 
I love it!! However I do have some concerns when I take off from a stop I notice the drive train seems to slip them catch, kind of hard to explain it. It's almost the feel of the brake releaseing from50% to 100% it happens very fast..Like maybe 10foot roll. I'm new to owning a 4x4 and was wondering was this normal? Got any advice? Thanks in advance!

When you say "slip"...is it like a "clunk"? Sort of an instantaneous slip? This could be what is called "Super Duty Clunk" where the slip yoke (behind the carrier or swing bearing) has become loose. Usually removing it and coating it in teflon grease will solve it.
If that's not it, then - like 99 said - take it to the tranny shop and let them check it out.

Mr big has you covered this has been a common concern with our trucks
Just set the parking brake when looking at the yoke asmm ,also if you pull it to lube it mark it so you get everything back in its orignal positon.

Just got back from the tanny shop.. They test drove it and said it's not the tranny for sure but they was not to sure of what it is..However they were able to make the truck do that "slip clunk" with it in park idling. Hats off to you Big Orn I belive you are right. Now the next question is you have a step by step way to check the yoke? I am a newbi and that's why I asked Thanks FortyFords for the safety tip Thanks once again guys in advance
