Default TC Lock Up Switch

Me and a friend are trying to get his truck ready for the drags next weekend, and he wants to add a lock up switch. Is their a way to do one for the Ford's like alot of the guys do with the Dodges?

I have one I wouldnt do it for drag races. It bogs the motor down quite a bit your better off leaving it open.

Really? I know on my dodge when you lock it up, it hauls. But completely different beasts their. I'll have to relay that message to my buddy

Yea you can try it. Mine shifts hard when locked. Then again I cant recall every trying it at wot because I know it bogs it normally. I can try it. The dodges wont lock in first gear at least my buddies wont. On the fords if you hit it in drive at a stop it will kill it like a clutch.

You cant lock it too early... Lock it at about 35-40mph and go for it...

Yea if you lock mien after it hits second it bogs way to early. Nice when pulling a trailer though it will bog it down into the torque curve
