Hunting Lockup

Its a 96 4x4..... So its been jumping in and out of lockup... I did the brake switch, TPS sensor, and also got the noise isulator wire from BD Diesel and its still jumping in and out. I cleaned some grounds and powers but i dont know what else to do... It seems to do more often and worse on hotter days.. Sometimes it wont do it at all on a cool night. Trannys running at 140 to 160 degrees and fluid is full. Thanks

I've found that many times you just have to bite the bullet and replace the TPS
