Control torque converter locks and unlocks

Post by ctravaglino »

I have a U7170 for a 2001 7.3 Ford F250. I would like to be able to control when the torque converter locks and unlocks based on my speed. Is this something the Predator and do and how would I go about doing it? I would mainly like to do this in the tow tune, but it would be nice to have this option for all tunes.

I have just upgraded to v.9r05.

Thanks!

Chris

One more thing to note...For the automatic trans, when you apply the brake, the torque converter unlocks. I would also like for this to stop as well since I am using an exhaust brake.

Hi Mike - I was wondering if you were able to talk to the tuners yet. I am going to start pulling again today for the next 3 weeks traveling from NJ to FL and would be a great time to use this feature.

Thanks,

Chris

Does anyone have any information on this? They make devices that connect to your computer that allows you to control the torque converter settings, so I would think you could do this with the program.
