    need some help

    I installed my converter about a month ago. Well since then truck acts funny. I can have truck in drive and hold brake down and the truck will just rev up to about 2600. Truck won't spin or anything. But if I let off brake it will take off. Any opinions. Converter is a pi 3600

    You talking flooring the gas, or just raising the RPMs a bit?

    Its doing what its supposed to do. You probably have a loose converter like mine. I accelerate from a dead stop at around 4k with a 3500 converter.

    I'm talking about flooring the gas. When I have brake applied. It will rev to about 2600. It will push alil. But even floored it won't spin. Won't go til I let off brake

    Do you have mods enough to need such a loose converter?

    If it were really that loose wouldn't it stall up higher than 2600. And I don't think its in second
