My grandson stopped by this afternoon, seems he has an issue with the trans in his 77 or so Dodge W150 727 4x4 trans. He says it has a good low, a good 2nd, but drive is like neutral, but he also has good reverse. Last week he changed out the carb with a GM style Edelbrock AFB. He doesn't have the Mopar carb adapter, so he has the throttle linkage cobbled up, as well as the trans kick down cobbled up. I asked him if the kick down was working, and he told me it was working great and it was shifting right as well. I have my suspensions about the kick down adjustment.
With this info, short of pulling it for a rebuild, is there anything we can try to do to get drive to function again? Gene

The kickdown is actually a pressure valve, if it wasn't going all the way back at full throttle he toasted the high gear clutches and burnt the steels. Yank the trans and after rebuild MAKE SURE he gets the kickdown correct or he'll repeat this problem.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!
