Now for articles on how to make a tranny that can handle the additional power. Ford TorqueShift may have a leg up there. Alison 1000 needs a lot of help.
And I would note that this is the tow vehicle section, not the hot rod truck section. Anyone that wants to modify one of these newest gen trucks has a heck of a lot more money to throw around than I do.
There are people here, myself included, that do modify their tow vehicles. I have modified just about everyone of my tow vehicles from my old 94' 12 valve to my current 14' 6.7L, and it wasn't necessarily done for hot roding. It was done to make the vehicle customized to my preferences and a better all around tow vehicle. I had to up the power in my old 94' just so that I wouldn't loose speed going up some of the mountain roads when towing my 10k trailer. Since then, what I tow has increased in weight and mass so the power needed to tow to preferences has increased as well. Some are fine with towing 14k up an 8 mile mountain road only being able to do 40 mph, I am not one of them. To each their own.
For those that do not prefer to modify their vehicles (due to monetary or warranty reasons) then articles or threads like this are not for them and a simple click of the "back" button will get them out of wasting anymore of their (and other people's) time.
