TC lockup switch
#21
Wow i have a STUPID newbie question... What is the point of locking up the TC manually? Why doesn't it lock it up so soon from the factory??
FYI yes a diode does go a certain way. Putting it in the wrong way shouldnt hurt anything, it just wont work. A diode is like an electrical check valve... Only allows for the flow in one direction. A series of diodes can be used to turn ac into dc

only reason i wanted to be able to do it early is because it gets to the higher gear quicker and thus going faster sooner. haha if that makes sense. im sure someone can explain that a lot better than i did. but yea when i step on it sometimes going through the gears takes longer and doing this would allow me to get to overdrive NOW. cuz man when that torque converter locks up the Adrenaline really starts pushing fuel....!!

well it does work normal with the switch hooked up and in the "off" position. and it did work normal before the install. everything worked as should. ummm i finally pulled the relay today after using the truck while it was in the first 3 times... but today got the same results as before with the relay out and just the bridge wire in there... and i didnt do the resistor
To answer the other posters question, the locked converter will put the power to the wheels instead of slipping the converter. It appears to have increased my fuel mileage during in town driving. I lock it right away and the tranny stacks the shifts so I am in 3rd gear very early.
