Torque Converter Going?

Well its been a week since I got back from Colorado towing a couple Jeeps, and since I broke the Jeep everyday, I wanted to take a week off of wrenching....

Back on topic, when the truck is hot, and I am stopped on an incline, getting started again is a huge PIA. It doesnt really matter on what the load is, empty 34' trailer, or that trailer loaded with both rigs, it is SOOOO slow to accelerate. Similiar to a 2nd, or even 3rd gear start. The engine doesnt really rev like a slipping TC, either. I noticed this the previous trip up north, but hoped changing to Amsoil Synthetic ATF would solve it.....

There are no issues unloaded, smoke's the tires just fine....

Any suggestions?
