What’s up guys my name is Anthony my first post on this forum.
So I got a couple questions
I bought this 83K 10 from a guy I work with. it’s got a newly rebuilt 350 and has a TH 350 transmission
He also said the transmission was rebuilt recently so I got it running right and made sure all the fluids were good and took it out on its maiden voyage and it acted like you didn’t want to move !!so I called him up and he says it has a 3500 RPM stall but it has a stock cam!!
So I double checked the trans fluid and tried again and the same thing happens but when I put it in 4 low it will move fine but in drive I have to give it so much gas to even get it to move!anybody have any suggestions??

If that's the case, change back to a stock converter. Why would someone put a 3500 stall converter with a stock engine??? Makes no sense at all. Kills the engine not to mention overheat the transmission and kill it too. No Good !!!

I have no idea why he would put that big of a stall on but I couldn’t pass up the truck for what he was asking.
Yeah I’ll drop the tranny this week and put a stock converter on

No doubt, never pass up a good truck for that reason. Stock Converteres are cheap. I'd hold onto that 3500 converter though. You may want to do a BIG CAM, and I mean BIG cam to need 3500 stall, or find someone who needs it and willing to buy it from you.

Sounds like the front pump on the tranny is going out....I would check that when I changed the converter
