ok when I did my tranny chage with a new billet converter etc I added the converter switch. My problem is my truck will not lock up untill drive even with the switch activated. It locks fine in drive and od if I leave the switch on it will buck like a son of a gun when slowing down so I know it's working. Is there something I missed or I need to add?

Did you pull the relay out of the fuse box under the hood?

yes I actually used that diagram when I did this. Relay is in the center of my truck in case I need it. My converter will not lock in 2nd gear. I know this because I can make my tranny get hot really fast when coming up a hill off the higway. I don't know what is going on. If i put it in 4lo I can bring the temps down as the speed it goes into 3rd is a lot lower and thus will lock up.

If I was to tap the wrong wire the truck would not stay locked up and not downshift right? If I leave the switch on and slow down the truck lets me know.

With that diagram the PCM has to send a lockup signal and the switch will hold it.

negative Captain.... this sends the ground signal to the lockup solonoid in the tranny that has a constant positive power source. this activates the ground in the circuit as the computer switches the grounds for that circuit when lockup normally comes into play
