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.

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
