whether you can or not easily idk?
bads
1. super hard on all components of the tranny if used wrong
2. dramatically reduces the life span of the trans. unless used properly
3. if you use it while the tranny is shifting it is like speed shifting a manual tranny without using the clutch... think about it how good can that be for anything?
4. trannys are very expensive to rebuild
5.will stall the truck if you leave/forget it is ingaged. and this is very easy to do.
the goods
1. will increase your speeds 0-60, 1/4 mile what have ya
2 can be used as an engine breake for pulling because it locks you into gear.
3. very cheap to install expecially on the dodges
my .02 is DONT DO IT unless you race it or sled pull it only! WAY to easy to break things!

i fond a couple of ways to do the manual switch. but it says you tap the purple wire with the yellow tracer in the transmission wiring harness then run it to a toggle switch and ground the switch BUT..... i cant find a purple wire with a yellow tracer in the harness, just one with a pink tracer. if you have any luck please let me know i am interested in putting the switch on mine

oh and its not gonna hurt your truck or your tc. my cousin has it on his dodge and it does fine and dodge tranmissions arent as good as e40od's. and by tapping the wire and installing a switch youll never know you have the switch in the off position. and i also dont see why people have negative things to say, half the time they dont even have the dang mods
