Torque Converter Unlocking "AGAIN"

Last january, my torque converter was unlocking on me around 6080 km's per hour. So, took all the info from everyone and cleaned all grounds and re-set APS ( or whatever its called) Worked great for about 6 months and started doing it again. Cleaned all terminals again and grounds and works for about a week then does it again....What could i do now to keep it away?

It is from electrical noise getting to the computer input. filter it.
I have had great luck with the DTT filter. http://dieseltrans.com
Use what ever works. If you keep driving it you will ruin the converter.

From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
A simple condenser mounted to alternator housing and lead connected to alt output terminal will do the same. Also consider shielding the alternator wiring with aluminum foil or wrapping with small wire for about 18 inches and grounding this wire. Do not short the wires, just shield them.

The condenser thing has been tried and does not compare tot eh purpose built noise filter.

Yes, the DTT component is more money, but it works.
