My auto now locks the converter in ALL gears - Dodge Diesel

Mcmopar · 01-02-2006, 09:11 AM

I rebuilt the old 47RE and can now lock the converter in ALL forward gears!! Finally, now I can crawl along at the beach in 1st or 2nd gear locked up!! Killed another KDP this weekend too!!

So how did you manage this? I would like to be able to lock mine with the gear selector in "1" or "2" also for when i want to creep along.

well the truck had the valve body and tq converter in it when i bought it, the guy before me didnt like lock-up switches so he just ordered the valve body without the 1-2 lock up, it will lock-in in 2nd if i flick the switch but it wont do it in anyother gear selection other than drive
