Do a search on it.
It is the converter refilling after a long sit.

Let the truck idle for one minute in neutral, not park (fills the cooler faster), then pull away, I guarantee you will feel no slip. I am a Gold Certified Chrysler tech. Your converter is fine, bushing in the front of your input clutch hub has wear, it can last a lifetime like that.
