dont most trucks have a torque converter test port on the control valve?
There should be ports for overall pump pressure, clutch pack pressure (fwd and reverse) , and torque converter and possibly even inching circuit pressure.
You'll need the service manual to tell you which ports are what and where they are.

I'd hook a guage to this and see what pressure your getting at idle versus when its rev'd up @ the torque converter port. This could reveal alot. You should be getting some kind of pressure at idle and that should increase as you rev up the engine. There is a minimum and max reading you should have.

Yes a torque converter can break and even wear out. This would explain no movement at idle as oppsosed to rev'ing up the engine and getting the jerk and then movement.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
