Is the transmission slipping?
Bought a new truck it’s an auto. It is my first dodge auto. The guy I bought it from told me the previous owner put in goerend parts. I have not yet confirmed that. The thing is it seems kinda like its slipping but im not sure. It just seems to wind kinda high with some go but then I pulled my 4runner back last night and it seemed to have very little go until the TC locked up, like I said im new to autos. When the Tc is locked should it feel like that all the time? Or is that just kinda how the autos feel. I do know that when it does lock I had no trouble pulling hills at 75mph with a car hauler and 4runner in tow. If that is how its supposed to feel is there anything I can do to firm the shift points up?

no, it shouldn't feel that way all of the time. The previous owner probably put a valvebody on it, and no torque converter. most aftermarket torque converters have a lower stall speed, causing them to have a lot better fluid coupling characteristics, and a less noticeable change between converter clutch locked, and unlocked.

Im taking the pics today. I rechecked the Trans fluid last night didn't look or smell burnt .I also watch a few vides on U tube of autos and i guess that's how the autos run. i plan to get a gauge within the month just have to find a place to mount it until i get my triple A pillar pod.
