The 2.9 lever isn't ideal but it has been used an many TF's without problem; the low ratio levers should be adjusted looser than other levers, try backing out 2.5 turns.

All of the problems seem to point to a problem in the rear band/servo except for your statement "I tried to accelerate, and the truck tries to lurch ahead, but wont move". Did this happen with the shifter in "1"? If it did, there are multiple problems because a rear band problem wouldn't prevent the vehicle from moving.
