Yes, a torque coverter getting stuck in low slip mode will drag badly 
in high gear.


I'd bet on waxy fuel, though.  Change the filters, and check the 
pre-filter -- if black, you have algae and need to clean out the tank, 
you're due.

Hrmm...  whats the stall RPM for the torque converter?  I did the put it 
in drive, stand on the brake, and floor it test to get 1500RPM.  When 
does low slip mode happen?

The filters have been on my todo list, but just got bumped up in 
priority a little bit!  Hopefully I don't need any tank cleaning


Thanks for the info!
