My question is, if you're cruising at say 55, & truck is at operating temp, if you touch the brake while still on the gas, will the converter come out of lock-up?

I know on the previous generation trucks, they would come out of lock-up if you did this. I tried it the other day & it didn't change anything.

Just wondering what is normal so I can figure out if I have an excuse to buy a new converter.

thanks

 

You need an excuse? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> For awhile I was thinking about not doing a convertor swap but the more I've been thinking about it the more I want one. Probably a Yank 2600 stall.

BTW, where are you from in Michigan?

 

Don't waste your time on a 2600 get a 3k stall
A little more fun not that much of a noticeble difference
still not too bad for towing either
I love my yank 3k stall wish i had gone with the 3200 though

Yes, it will unlock.

 

Red53, thanks for the reply. So based on that info, I'm assuming my truck is not locking up at all. Nothing happens when I apply brakes at speed. And I never notice it locking up while accelerating. This is probably why my gas mileage has dropped considerably.

What would cause the converter to not lock up? What can I do to fix this?

JSmith, I'm in the Grand Rapids area.
