A better clutch inside a stock converter will make alot of difference however.

Thank
Thank god for procrastination..... I was convinced my prob. was the torque converter, and I was going to Change it. A guy I work with has a lift in his garage and invited me to come over and do it there. Long story short...He blew me off when it came time to do it....In the mean time my symptoms worsened.....The truck started missing on lower accel and intermittenly when I was stopped....I ended up swapping out coil packs...it was the #2 cylinder...
Thanks for the tips and suggestions....This forum is a wonderful resource....I greatly appreciate the time people have put into it.
