Torque Converter Locking up at idle

Yesterday I was on my way back from a little trail riding and I tried giving my truck a little bit of the skinny and it had no high end power so I stopped and plugged in the Smarty tuned the truck back to stock. I got back on the road and it felt exactly the same so I pulled back over started checking under the hood and truck and everything looked fine so I loaded switch 7 back on it and it ran fine until today. Today I was starting from a stop light and when I got to about 20 my truck shifted into overdrive and locked up and the TC now goes straight to lock-up when in drive. When I put the truck in drive it idles for about 1-2 seconds and locks-up. The transmission has been in my truck for about 2 weeks now and I have tried to call Dave but I think he is enjoying the holidays not that I can blame him cause I would be too if this wasnt happening.

The converter clutch and overdrive solenoid were blocked and arent working properly so Dave is going to overnight them to me tomorrow.

I got lazy and didnt want to spell out solenoid twice but it was the 2 solenoids that control the lock-up.
