high rpm shifting, not the good kind

A kid I know has a 1999 f250 v10 engine and the trans??? Unsure right now. But, I guess he is having a problem where the engine will shift really late. The rpm's climb way high before it does anything, could this be a fluid issue? He wants me to drive it, I ain't got a problem with that But what would cause this? Any ideas?

Like to see a babby goat driving (kid) that would be cool.

We got a really good one at school. I will tell him to bring it in, in other news I got my other friends truck running like a champ

No, his engine was running rough and his heat would only be on defrost. Fixed that sucker up and its never run better, at 202k on a v6. He had a problem where he would hit the gas and nothing happened, then he would have to pump it then finally get moving. I think it was getting flooded and had to burn the extra crap off.
