Thank you. Now if i can just get this transmission issue sorted I'll be fine! I guess the pump on the transmission is bad.

The aod is a finicky transmission. What kickdown rod or cable are you using. What pressure at idle are you getting at the test port.
If you don't have the "kickdown" adjusted right, it won't shift and it won't engage correctly.
Remember, it's not a kickdown, it's an adjustable pressure regulator.

Why do you think the pump is bad. Because the torque converter was wrong before?

The builder is familiar with the AOD and he informed me of the kickdown before I brought it to his attention. At this point I'm confident its an issue with the transmission which is under warranty.

Those other wheels were just not working out as far as fitting under the bed. I got these online from an ebay retailer but they are Boss wheels and fit great!
Thanks for noticing. I'm trying to get back into playing with it I had to take a break for a while. $$$ family ... ect.
Here is me driving it now.

The aod is a good trans.... When it's not in OD. Always remember to manually shift out of OD before hammering the gas. Once locked out of OD, you can drive it hard. No matter what shift kit, or rebuild, it has a tendency to lag coming out of od by itself, then fully engaging 2nd gear, and snapping the small od input shaft off. Please trust me on this, I've blown up more than my share of these. All of them blew up because of overdrive and downshifting by itself. Never once upshifting.
