I just want everyone to know I finally got around to changing the converter and it did fix the issue

Good deal. Did you use a 2011 converer

If the converter clutch disintegrates, it can drag like it is locked up, and send clutch material through the cooler line, and block the inlet of the radiator heat exchanger.

Fluid will not circulate and the trans will run at a higher temperature. You can check this with a thermo heat gun, or remove the lower line at the radiator and check for debris.

You can check fluid circulation-- if you remove the top line where it connects to the trans-- slip a hose on the tubing and start the engine-- should be full flow. Don't run very long, just a few seconds.

It wasnt the TCC. The sprag flipped. Seen this in Cummins' many many times.

I went with a dacco performance billet converter. The 2011 one is on back order and I waited months for it and gave up and found this one for about the same price.
