Default Need some advice

Ok, i think i've been having some problems lately with my truck's tranny. around where i live, we have some slow speed limits(25-35) and every time i accelerate a little bit, then let off the gas, then go to hit the gas again, it just revs without going anywhere. it feels like the torque converter isnt locking like it suppose to. it usually happens when i get to about 35 then let off the gas. i have to let it drop in speed to about 25 before it will lock again and i actually get power to the wheels. idk what the problem is really. anyone have any ideas?

First is it full of fluid? Check idling in neutral
How long since it was serviced? Fluid and filter change and bands adjusted.
How many miles on it?
Torque converter doesn't lock until about 45 miles per hour.

Check your linkage, make sure nothing is loose or disconnected. Get under truck & check electrical connectors. Maybe just something loose. Check fluid level. TC locks at highway speeds, so that's not your problem.
