    Torque converter connector

    Putting 33"s on a stock truck is pushing it, They are gonna rub depending on how wide they are. My guess is that they could work with quite a bit of fender trimming. They are very wide especially on a 20x12 wheel.

    Yeah, I was thinking maybe now that I got the lock-up working, after years of it not hooked up, maybe I have to readjust the TV cable. I'm gonna open it up one last time and move the pressure switch over to the 4th gear pressure port.

    Well, I bypassed the pressure switch, put direct 12V line into the solenoid, and took it for a spin, hit the toggle on 4th gear and Guess what? My lock-up is working beautifully! On the way home, I also noticed that my tranny as taking longer to to shift out of 1st and 2nd gears. Could have been...

    Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do next(what 350 runner said). if it locks up, then i'll move the pressure switch. Hopefully the converter isn't bad. This trial and error thing is taking its toll on me. Draining the fluid, changing whatever your gonna change, button it up, refill with fluid is...

    Torque converter connector

    I haven't taken apart what I did yesterday, I was thinking about taking the truck out for a spin again. This time go through all 4 gears, hit the toggle, and punch it so it down shifts to 3rd, and see if my indicator light comes on and I get lock-up.

    Torque converter connector

    I actually have another switch that I ordered by accident it a normally closed switch. And from what I read, it can serve as an interrupter when down shifting from 4th to 3rd gear.

    I'm only using 2 of the wires at the terminal, one for 12V power, and the 2nd for a indicator light. the 3rd one is just the capped off.

    Torque converter connector

    I was up till 3am this morning reading everything I could on 700r4 valve bodies. I have come to the conclusion that my pressure switch is in the wrong port. I have it on the 4-3 port right now(because that's where it was when I first opened up the tranny). According to what I read last...

    Torque converter connector

    Ok guys, I tidied everything up tonight, wired up the toggle switch, wired in an indicator light, took it for a spin on the freeway, got up to cruising speed, hit the switch, and absolutely nothing happened. I checked all 12V power from toggle switch to case connector and everything is good, the...

    Torque converter connector

    Well anyways, I just walked in the house after a few hours of working on my truck. I got the new pressure switch & harness in the mail this afternoon, I just finished installing everything. I used the red wire for the 12V power and the blue wire is for an indicator led light that I'm gonna put...

    Torque converter connector

    I was looking at the original wiring set ups from the factory on my truck, and all that info that Chengny provided, and My guess from the look at whats in my tranny now, its been tamped with before. When I first got the truck the PO said he had a shift kit installed, prior to him blowing the...

    Torque converter connector

    Yeah, I ordered another one online, the transmission shops around town must have only the ones made out of gold, their prices are ridiculous. Should be here tomorrow. I swear, this lockup thing has got me losing sleep over it, but I ain't gonna let it go while its alive!

    Torque converter connector

    I Just put a short wire from stub to stub. I think I might have fried it when I did that, at least I hope I did, and that's why I think i didn't get lock-up. If not, its gotta something else. Does closed mean that the current is going through?

    Torque converter connector

    I'm having a hard time understanding the pressure switches, normally open/psi, closed, and normnally closed/psi open. I just want to know which switch will pass 12 volts through, when the pressure is on, and won't pass current when the pressure is off. Does "open" mean that there's no current...

    After putting everything back together, when I took It for a spin on the freeway, it shifted normally, as always, nice firm shifts(all 4). The lock-up never happened. I have the stock radiator setup for cooling.

    Ok, so I should be getting the new switch in the mail today or tomorrow, and I'm thinking about moving it over to the 4th gear pressure port.
