1997 12v a/t trans problems towing

97 12v only about 50 hp increase, a/t trans 4x4 dually
towing up grades with 6000 lb trailer od stops going into od

non od i run up to governator and only goes into when cooler

how do i get od or overdrive to work at a lower rpm

i lave to run to 2300 rpm and then shift

i did add a bd high pressure kit that fools the trans into thinking

iam applying more power then i am. is that the problem?

i realive a modified tork converator is a must , as it slips over

10 lbs boost , so i cant use hardly any power

this trans needs help, just dont want to go full replacement now

what items can i get replaced 1st

i can take it to a shop in sacramento ca

thanks in advance

So at what RPM does it kick out of OD? You may just need to adjust your TPS, but I wouldnt recommend stressing a basicaly stock tranny hauling in OD up hill either, so I wouldnt demand that it stays in OD. It is only going to burn it up a lot faster.
