Mine, which still has the 3rd gear lockup program (I read they changed that with one of the pcm flashes to only lockup in 4th), locks up around 35 mph in 3rd gear.

well found my problem...after 3 years! turns out my brake light switch was going bad this whole time but i had no idea since my lights still worked. well they stopped working, so i replaced it and now my lock up and cruise control both work again!
