Lock Up??
 

i know the lock up switch makes it faster... but if all i have is a billet input shaft and a billet triple disk converter will i eff something up w/ a switch

shouldnt, it should hold good

k good. cuz today im droppin her off at the shop and getting 4gsk and the lock up switch

What exactly is the purpose in the lock up switch?:humm:

keeps the tranny from shifting down while the switch is on. it grounds out the tourqe converter while switch is on. i just did one in my 01, works great.

here i'll give you a brief explanation... when you floor your truck the tourqe converter doesnt put out all the power going into it... it runs a ratio and eventually it will lock up and put out all the power. but until that point in time it esentially slips... the switch allows you to lock it up in any gear and it will ony be able to shift upgears but not down gears.. in all it will use all your power.. but you have to have a billet input shaft and a good converter to have one

well you dont HAVE to have a good converter but its probably a good idea:w2:

well i just had a converter installed but it was basically a stock one to get bye with. I am goin to need a tranny eventually but didnt have the money rite now. If you run a lock up switch do you have to constanty turn it on and off?

The lock switch is to get more torque at the top end for your rpms it just makes it a 1to1 ratio so you get the extra torque not to go faster. it is a great way to get better fuel milage out of a auto on the freeway or curisen over 55mph. that is up to you and how you lick to use it. you dont need to use it all the time. but if someone is tailin you filp it on at 35mph and it will lock it in overdrive and the smoke will just pour out and they wont ride your but anymore.

Is the switch hard to install???? Any instructions would be great
