Sounds like the front seal leaked some fluid. If I remember right the tranny cooler in that year is less than adequate for towing. The "puking" seems to happen when your jogging the trailer into position, shifting from drive to reverse and not moving very fast. One fix is to install the 6.0 aux cooler and another is to install an aftermarket cooler. My '94 F350 did this on a 123 degree day when I was trying to jostle my 9,000 lb fifth wheel into my friends front yard. I lost about 1/2 qt. replaced it and it hasen't leaked since..that was about 2 years ago.
the fuel tank capacity depends on the model you have really, On 8' long bed models the fuel tank capacity
is 38 gallons and the 6.75' short bed models are 29 gallons.
You can weld tabs to frame side in mounting area. Ford as well as others tend to do this with year end and model changes. I once had an F257 , you will never see anything about this truck. All it was was a larger BVW rating then a F250 and they changed a few parts from a F350 without the total package. Just make sure to be flush with frame,another option would be to check the dually width and the F250 frame width ,it may be anothe F257
Do you have 4WD? Usually they dont have very many lift kits for 2WD. All they can give you really is longer leaf springs or blocks in the rear, and spring spacers or taller springs for the front.
As for 4WD, they have the same fittings for the rear, but the front theres a different set up.
If you have a stick shift, you rent a 2 wheel tow dolly and run the front tires onto it and strap it down. Put the truck in neutral and away you go.
If you have an Automatic you want all 4 wheels on a flatbed or tow trailer. You rent a car hauler trailer and piggyback the truck onto the trailer. A good rental will know the weight and rent you the right trailer.
I don't know how much better gas mileage you will get with a gear change. I don't think it will be worth the cost verses saving a couple mpg. The 5.4L engine is kinda small for this size truck. The better way to go would be a cold air intake and an aftermarket exhaust this will easily give 5-10 mpg increase over stock and won't sacrafice any power when towing
