I know you didn't ask but like someone said below - make sure you get brakes on all wheels whichever type you get. In a routine stop the F250's brakes (assuming you've got the super duty not the city truck version) will probably stop everything just fine but with all the idiots and animals out there panic stops are going to happen. I know a guy who sheared all the lug bolts off a rear axle trying to stop a gooseneck load of hay with an F350 super duty. Get the best controller you can get, preferably one that varies the voltage with the pressure you put on your brake pedal or your truck speed however they're doing it these days. I've got an old Tekonsha that is activated by the brake pressure going to my rear brakes. Sure makes for a smooth stop. If that F250 has an automatic, get one of the extended transmission pans for more fluid. Might also want to try the snowplower's trick of adding an in-line transmission fluid cooler between the transmission and the radiator cooler to dissipate some of the heat before it gets to the radiator area.
