How do I go about putting one of these on? After hearing everyone who has one brag about it, I've decided to put one on mine. Thanks for the help yall.

 

Have you read this? Very easy to understand. Did you read any of the other threads that touched this subject that were active a few days ago?

Just use is wisely.

Justin is right, it's so simple even I figured it out. Don't see any trans mods on your truck, the stock convertor isn't much when you go to beating it. I pulled and used the lockup in overdrive low lock and it was like having one more gear. I had quit a few people that knew me ask how many times I shifted going down the track!

 

I just did mine this weekend. I used a few parts from autozone and took pictures. I will try to host a couple and put up a link.

Mine is an 01 and the drawing / instructions from the TST page were not exactly right when it came to the relay / jumper. It did give me enough detail to figure it out though.

I have been reading the posts on the torque converter lockup mod and I'm very tempted to do it but I'm concerned about the damage it can cause my tranny Is there anyone that has done this mod and damaged there tranny? What is the safe way to use this mod and what are the no no's ???
Thanks guys!

I too have thought about putting one on my truck. If I ever do put one on, I think I'm going to wait till I upgrade my TC though. I'm still sketchy on the TC lock up switch uses and do's and don'ts. I wouldnt know when it was the right time to use the thing.

 

How is relay/jumper wrong?

I put my jumper where the instructions said and it works fine. I put mine in over three years ago and the instructions have not changed.

 

I went to do a search on here and the search function was disabled. That's why I posted. I'm well aware of the do and don'ts of this switch and I fully understand the consquences. This is not gonna be something I use everyday, just on the occasional impromptu race from 40-45mph.

 

put it in my truck-love it- lock up at 30-35 mph with od off then od off at 40-45 mph, much- much faster(love it) just watch your exhaust temp will get to hot to fast ex-specialty if you dog the eng.

 

My power box has the relay in a different place. It does have a small footnote telling you to use your power box cover as a guide to find the correct relay to pull. That's what I did and it works great.

When I try to follow the instructions for mine the lock up occurs at about 7 mph (when it shifts to second) with the jumper in and then it stalls the engine. If I try it without the jumper it causes my tranny to go into the limp mode. Since I got my new tranny I don't even think about it.

 

Your not supposed to turn it on until after it's in 2nd gear.

 

I need one to turn off my TC lockup. While I tow it locks up ( with OD switch off) and I have to push pretty hard to get it to unlock...

 

So what are the consquences of using the lockup mod??? Is there a problem if used properly?

I did this mod back a couple of months ago, what a difference. It took 6/10s off my 1/4 mile ET.

I wired it a little different though, I used 3 relays. The beauty of this setup is that it uses the brake as a shutoff. (you can, of course, use the switch to turn it off also)I can't find the schematic for this. Maybe someone else knows where to find it?
