Possible transmission issues

Ok I had my back spacer plate break on my starter mount, so I proceeded to drop the transmission so long story short and to the point everything works fine besides Drive. Reverse works good 1st and 2nd gear pulls great but when I put it in drive it can barley pull itself up a hill at 2500 rpms, fluid levels are spot on, nothing is burnt, all plug-in's are snapped on I'm just dumbfounded because the truck ran great before all this, so if there's any help or advice someone can give me that would be great

Did you remember to plug the two speed sensors on top of the transmission back in?

Nope. You should be able to feel around up there to plug them in.
