ive had a ton of problems with it we hard wired the lift pump so when you turn the key its on that seemed to fix most of the problems and the tc unlocks at the raise of the hand and sometimes jumps back and forth that and diesel is 4$ a gallon we live in the country and are moving to town a few blocks from school and that will be hard on it and it needs glow plugs now i guess and does 45$ to straight pipe it seem alot

This might be a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway. What does locking the TC do for you exactly?
