I've actually never felt a slip Phil. Just the acting like the e-brake is on for a few seconds when putting in drive. Trans has had a full rebuild less than 25k ago ( I know that doesn't mean everything), so I'm going to go with a converter first. Stall test was done with both feet on the pedals, go pedal to the floor. 3 seconds max and it was at 2300.
Anything below 1800rpm condemns the TC, anything above is a failure in the transmission. Do you have anyway to carry out a line pressure test?
Try stall testing in R, D and 1.

One thing I forgot to mention in the first post. The trans shifts real good, but I never notice the converter on shifting. I talked with my trans guy and he thought it sounded like the converter also. Like I said I'm gonna try this first. If I don't succeed, try, try again.
Thanks again.

OK, I should have phrased that differently.
I should have just said the jack makes it a lot easier and I should have gotten one many years ago..

I swapped converters on friday. I went with a florida converter. It's a new converter, not rebuilt. No high dollar converter, 250 shipped to my door with no core charge. Basically its stock. I put a new motorcraft filter and fluid in also. There was some very small powder on the magnet, no big pieces at all.
I'm calling it fixed enough for this truck, it seems to work pretty good now. It doesn't seem perfect yet, but it is way better.

Amen to that brother!! I've been pulling them for years without a trans jack. The kids all went together and got me one Christmas before last. Don't know why I didn't buy one years ago. Every time I pulled a trans I would tell myself, "I need to buy a trans jack!"......but I never did! LOL! It was Tyler's idea for them all to get me one.........I think it was so he could use it too! LOL!!!!

I haven't wanted to put this on the forum, but I can't get JW to give me a call back when he can look at it and do the first fluid change. I need an answer because I can drive it, but can't tow with it now.

Hey Darin, so I am just trying to understand...for personal reasons. I think my JW has taken a crap and I think it's the converter. I have never understood 100% how they work. If I stand on the brake and give it throttle, it should not rev to 3000, right? Mine did and then the tires kinda cut loose. I only did it for 3-4 seconds. It shifts great and all that, but it slips if it gets above 170* and then it won't go over 55mph without slipping. It throws the P1720 code (trans slip fault). Acts just like a TC unlocked. It's one reason I thought about putting a lockout switch on it.

Forget the hand shaker,Ill get flame but I never liked manual trannys on a truck, for me is cars manual, trucks auto since most of the towing needs at work are in the city and it gets old really quick specially trying to fit an 40'x 8' flat bed trailer in a 10' wide alley
