Dodge is torque happy with their converters. High stall rates makes a dodge seem like it's in a lower gear or slipping. Make sure that trans is cool. They don't last in this area unless the fluids changed every 15-30,000 miles. The torque converter stays free till a high rpm while plowing and severe use with a lead foot. Light acceleration does help alot though, It locks up at slower rpm.
