I know what thats like.I couldn't believe it either when i tried it for the first time.I was grinning ear to ear.I can't wait until my stock tranny gives up the ghost and i get a better tranny put in. From what i'm told,the truck will drive totally different.

Do you have a manual valve body? Mine doesnt like to shift with the converter locked, i just lock it once i hit 30, then she hammers down, i can let it go to about 20 and it will black out the street till 40-50mph. I like it but want a better valve body, so it will cherp gears like a standard.
