I've got a 3400ish stall and in low range (which you should be in if your really wheeli g) the stall feels more like 2500ish. In deep mud it kinda sucks because the suction makes it jump back to 3400. Unless your rock climbi g it's not to bad, you just need to learn how to use your brake to finesse.

High stall converters should be reserved for the racing type of off-road only, in my opinion. When you're hunting in the backwoods or crawling over rocks, you want crisp pedal response (which being in 4LO helps) and torque on demand right away, not when some converter says you can have it halfway up the tachometer.

my old hot shot truck i used to have problems with the trans heating up on me so me and a couple buddies built an auxiliary trans cooler that might serve good for this purpose. The drag race trans pans that have the cooling loop in the bottom put one of those on the trans and add lines up to the front and run 3 trans coolers in series and we added an electric pump in after the coolers. it worked good soon as the trans started to heat up going up hills flip the pump on and it would keep her cool even on the hard pulls
