They overheat if they don't lock up in 4th gear because they starve for oil. And you do not want to tow in 4th gear with a 700r4... -

I disagree with this. Driving around in OD with the converter unlocked will toast the trans. Driving in lower gears (higher rpm, less...

careful on that, depending on the year 700r4 this may or may not allow the converter to lockup, which if it doesnt will toast the trans...

Leave it out of OD. If it starts gear hunting between second and third, shift it into second until it'll maintain third..
