If your sure it's not the trans then can you be a little bit (well 2nd grader type) more specific on what the issue is?

UPDATED INFO-

problem/issue-is that it has VERY POOR torque from a dead stop, i was in slimy mud and tried powerbraking it and tires would even spin!!! If you hold the brake and put it to the floor the rpm's will go no higher than 1600. My uncle hooked it up to the snap on exodus this morning it has no codes everything seems to be checking fine so my uncle said its probably the torque converter??? does this sound correct? remember no codes came up engine runs PERFECT
