Could be the torque converter. Was it dry when installed?

 

First, NO CAPS for ever word...

Youve bled the air from the system?
Fans working?
Flushed motor?
Test thermostat?
Hoses collapsing?
Air dam intact?

Recommend the search button next time...

Also, is the TV set correctly? Fluid levels (all of them)?

Good luck
