Torque converter
Hello. I’m having a problem with my 2000 7.3. It manly happened when I put it in reverse the truck kinda stumbles like the torque converter is locked and kinda wants to kill the truck. But just recently when coming to a stop it wants to keep moving. I’m wondering if it’s the torque converter going bad?

I had this happen recently when I was backing up a trailer. My wife used the truck and said it stalled out while on an incline at a red light . I checked the fluid and sure enough, it was low. Then I had a suspicion....took out the fill plug on the transfer case...and about a quart of fluid gushed out. Turns out I had a bad input shaft seal on the transfer case. Haven't had any stumbling or stalling issues with it since.
Now I get to replace my oil cooler seals and flush my cooling system for the 2nd time in a year....guess the Vaseline I used last time wasn't "lubey" enough.

No more whirring noise at 15-25mph now either. I had thought my carrier bearing was going out, but it was the transfer case making the noise.

Check your line pressure with a pressure guage(with a long hose). You can get them at autoparts stores and amazon.
Here is thenlink for pressure readings. Use the test port on the drivers side.

thanks for your response. I will say I’m not a mechanic but I can do some things. So I’m going to assume it’s not the torque converter? And what should I dig into first if you don’t mind helping me out?
