What I am seeing is, Orange/black trace wire, on cavity three. With the connector facing you, latch on top, it will be the rightmost wire.

That's the internal wiring. I suspect the external wiring is not the same color.

Yes sir is the wire on the right orange black Trace transmission guy said it would be the one on the rear so that's toward the rear also so I'm going to snip it. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS BECAUSE IF IT WORKS OUT I'VE GOT ONE MORE QUESTION.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT...... Now the big QUESTION....I should be able to take those wires and put them to a TOGGLE SWITCH inside the cab for those rare times I do get over 60as a cruising speed. Is that a DO'ABLE thing?

Yep. Just use the switch to complete the circuit (re-connect the wires) and the PCM will handle the rest. You do NOT want to have the switch enable TCC on it's own, that would make stopping quickly problematic.

I'm going to ask a question in the most UN-CONFUSING way I can... I understand that LOC-UP puts the train 1 on 1, and in an NO LOAD state I can see it picking up the 2 WEAK CYLINDERS and causing the SHAKE (@ 60mph an below). However, in a NO LOAD state (cruise/coasting more-less), @ 60mph or more, WHY does it run SMOOTH?? SECONDLY.. when in 4th gear, under the same NO-LOAD type situation, low or high rpm, you can't make it SHAKE or even vibrate ???
IT'S ONLY IN LOC-UP, FOOT ON GAS, OFF GAS, IN A LOAD, NO LOAD...UNDER 60MPH IT SHAKES. AND LOWER THE SPEED THE WORSE THE SHAKE.
(Since I installed the switch however, it's been amazing)

The vibration you feel is the weak cylinders. Under no load, very little of that vibration is transmitted thru the drive line. Under load, you should feel it, it should be even more pronounced in O/D.
