A torque converter doesn't engage. It either works or it doesn't. You can tell when it doesn't because the truck does not move at all.

You probably have a low pressure problem due to a bad solenoid. There is a pressure test in the Ford shop manual that can diagnose this for you. I don't have a copy, but I've seen it.

That's what mine was doing when the DD/OD clutches went out. Almost exactly the same mileage too. Call Suncoast and get an extreme duty rebuild kit and don't worry about it any more. It will even tolerate your banks which doesn't really do anything to reprogram the trans for more HP.

Definitely replace both solenoids, the direct and the epc.
