Torque converter locking in Hi at 45mph
is it natural for my 95 to lock the torque converter at 45MPH in hi? I mean to get it to unlock I have to slam my foot almost to the floor... then its a fine line between un-locked torque converter and a full blown downshift to passing gear.
at 55mph with it locked my RPMS are only like 1300 rpms. so at 45 its GUTLESS when the TC is locked.

Yes, that is how they work. It's a lot better with an aftermarket TC, but it really is a bad mph to have lockup programmed in at. If you want it to unlock the TC, tap the brake pedal, and it will unlock. You can wire in a switch pretty easily to keep the TC unlocked if it really bothers you.

Actually the factory lockup is set for 47 mph.
I had my PCM reflashed back when my truck was new to change lockup to 55 mph.
Unfortunately most dealers no longer have the equipment and knowledgeable mechanics who can do this reflash.

I found this post that may help you out to change your shift points.

I try to insert a picture of the wiring I got off this site if I can.
