47re converter question? - Competition Diesel.Com

I'm sure its been asked a million times but my phone won't let me use the search function. Fresh rebuild on a 47re behind a 98 12v. The converter is acting like stock. It only locks up in od at wide open around 50 to 60mph and makes it rev to 2500 to 2700 and have to run the crap out of it before it finally locks. Is this normal or something i or the trans shop can fix? And the lock up switch only does any when the converter finally locks, is that normal?

Truck is all stock except for plate slid and trans is a mild build with upgrade clutches, steels and bands and different VB and 1400ish stall triple disc conveter

you say fresh rebuild on the 47re, is it a new (upgraded) converter too or the old one put back in?
