If you haven't done it lately, it's time to check your transmission gear oil level.

SOURCE: 2500 hd chevy needs new tires at 40,000 which ones best

If you are hauling most of the time, then consider commercial tyres - often denoted by a "C" at the end of the spec. These have a harder tread compound - so will tend to wear less, and thicker sidewall.
Ask at tyre fitters who do trucks most of the time - and use their advice. Prices can be all over the place, with no bearing on quality or longevity. Use your fingers as the best guide - the harder the tread - the longer it will last.
If you expect snow or ice, keep your softer tyres on the rims for winter, and use the harder ones for summer.

I drive a Land Rover and have 3 sets depending on summer, winter or off-road. Keep them under a tarp, and if outdoors - chained together!

follow the wires back behind the bumper toward the front of the truck, check the next connector you find for corrosion.

SOURCE: how to improve power without buying a new truck

a few things you could do would be to turn up the pump, bigger injectors, add a turbo and after cooler, and differents gears in the differentials and/or transmission, rear axle airbags would improve your ride quality too, also i beleive its a 444 cu. in. engine if its an international 7.3( ford 7.3 )

What is the recommended trailer towing weight (a suitable range would be ideal) for the F-150 4x4 Supercab XLT Triton, 5.4L EFI V8 Engine, with 17" wheels and 145" wheelbase?

Depending on the gear ratio of your vehicle you have a max capacity of 8,500 or 9,500lbs. Your ideal trailer weight for this vehicle I would say is between 5,000 and 8000lbs. For more info on towing Click here.

Towing capacity of a Ford 250 5.8 L engine

Towing capacity for any vehicle depends on the engine size along with tire size. the towing capacity should be on the ID tag on the driver's side door and will also be in the owner's manual.
