Normal?

Got another question about my '91 F-250 4x4. This truck has the 5.8L, (about 350-400 miles on rebuild) E4OD, and 3.55 gears. I realize that the motor is far from being broke in and also that this is a fairly heavy truck, but on long hills it has a hard time "getting out of its own way" so to speak. Will power output improve as the motor gets more miles on it? Also, is it a characteristic(hope I spelled that right ) of the E4OD to need to be revved a little before engaging very well? (about 1500 rpm) I'm afraid the tranny may need some attention, been acting a little strange lately.

Im sure the engine will deliver better performance , but I suspect the problems youre having is with the trans . Have a quality trans shop look at it .
