New tranny and converter and........

My buddy has a trans shop and built my trans with a new converter. Shifts good and pulls hard in lockup. But right now when I am locked up in 4th I can not get the truck to kick down into third no matter how much pressure I put on the throttle. Truck just keeps pulling in lock up like a manual.... LOL

I am taking it back to my buddies shop on Friday to have him check it out. What would cause the trans to not kick down from 4th to 3rd? It will kick down from 3rd to 2nd with no issues.
