Torque converter stall speed?

Any one know what the converter's stall speed should be on a '84 300TDT?

Mine seems to stall out at about 1500rpm, when the engine is warm, but it is less than that when cold, and I am woundering if I have a low power issue to look into.
Thanks,
Jason

Stall is based off input torque and vehicle weight... so when the motor is cold it's safe to say it's producing less power thus less torque. Espically on a diesel where heat is needed in the combustion process.

1500rpm off boost sounds right for that year once boost hits it should flash stall a bit higher... 2100-2300rpm or so (at least mine does)
