    I understand that the brake light disengages the lock up (not downshifts it). Interesting thought about "driving at an rpm lower than your stall speed" though... I was thinking of using a 2800 - 3000 or so converter, I need to calculate my target RPM range when cruising at about 70 mph on the hiway...

    Are you guys saying that the electrical lock up switch is completely manual? I would have to lock and unlock the TC myself, sounds like a pain. This is why I was leaning toward the hydraulically (sp?) controlled unit.

    My 4 speed OD auto truck gets into OD just on everyday backroad driving, not just on the hiway, if I had to reach over and turn it on and off as I cruised down every long stretch of farm road I'd get a cramp as well as annoyed.
