I,m thinking about getting a lock up switch for my truck but I have a few questions about it.
1: Does it stay locked all the time or does it unlock by itself to shift?
2: Does it lock in all gears?
3: Is this something that i can install myself in my garage?
4: Is it hard on the tranny?
5: And finally how much are they and where do I buy one?

 

my lockup switch was only the cost of the switch and the resistors. you have to unlock it coming to a dead stop. my friend installed mine im not good with wiring. I dont know if I would install one on the stock converter thats up to you. I use mine mainly to lock up at about 45mph or so or just to lock it up to play. as for a stock transmission I dont think it would be good on it but im no tranny guru

 

I have a couple questions about the lock up also because I am interested. I know you can't manually lock it up intil your in 2nd gears completely right? Then when you let out of the throttle you can disengage the switch correct? Say if I were going down the road at 45mph and I flipped the switch what exactly would happen at a cruising speed like that?? The truck wouldn't downshift and take off would it? It would kind of just lug and take off from that gear?

 

1: Does it stay locked all the time or does it unlock by itself to shift?
Yes, once the switch is on it is locked and stays locked

2: Does it lock in all gears?
All but 1st gear

3: Is this something that i can install myself in my garage?
Yep, easy to do

4: Is it hard on the tranny?
Yep, very hard on a stock trans

5: And finally how much are they and where do I buy one?
Radio Shack or about any Automotive store should have single pole single throw switch. The resistor is a little harder but Radio Shack has them also.
