So I have a 2002 F350 4x4 lariat with auto trans, 171430 miles. It also has a 6 position ts chip (stock, 70mph,40,60,120,140) and i usually run it on 120hp highway and 40 towing, in addition it has a bully dog shift kit in the trans. I was pulling a 28' enclosed with stuff for a weekend and a 3360 pound cab truck to the hardline ride at Hawk Pride earlier this year. I have noticed it doesn't pull as hard anymore, as I started the climb up to Hawk Pride I immediately built heat that had never happend, by the time I made the hill she was in red and that was babying it in first. I rarely drive the truck since I have a company supplied truck so fast forward to last week, same trailer with nothing in it but a 3350 pound circle track race car on a 2% grade for 1/2 mile gouging on it about 55 mph and it got up in the yellow on trans gauge. Now I am pretty sure I need a converter, my next question is what would be my best option without spending 1500 as I only drive the unit 5-8k miles a year and is there anyone who has tried a torque converter lock module such as the one pasted below. Any help is greatly appreciated!
