Hi folks
I'm running a 01 F250 Lariat 4wd 6.8L extended cab with 46K miles
I pull a 8500lb Boat and Trailer. I had to replaced the tranny at 22k because it
went to pieces. Ford installed a new tranny, converter and cooler and all was
well until last month. I started to notice a low level noise coming from the
tranny area when just idling through the parking lot. I had the truck put up on a lift with the wheels spining and the noise is coming from the end of the transmission into the transfer case. Any ideas? I'm going to have them bullet proof the tranny so it won't break again. Since I'm beefing up the tranny I figured I'd go ahead and try to get some additional HP out of the motor while
I'm at it. What have you folks done to get additional HP out of your trucks. I've been looking at the Banks Power Pak with otomind. I would appreciate any info and experience from you folks that have already ventured down the performance upgrade path

Welcome to the forums. You will find a lot of useful information here. You have a V10 and that should have a whole lot of power. It sounds funny to have a tranny go on you with such low miles, and to get noise now is strange. I hope it's still under warranty (sounds like it is from what you wrote) But in any case, guys have done many "easier" mods to make a few more HP. I would go with stock size tires and some nice gearsets for one. If you really want significant power gains, a supercharger would be the way to go. Exhausts, superchips and intake changes will only give very modest gains. For a truck like this, it comes off the line with a good amount of power. Good luck and welcome again.
