You need to get a pressure lock and need to wire in a tc lockup switch. If ya ain't towing heavy then it really isn't worth the hassel.

I wont lie -- I LOVE mine! But part of that is the evil inside me. There is nothing like having a ricer on the passenger side who thinks their trash can exhaust is loud. Flip that bad boy on and give em an earful!

No seriously (yeah yeah I know) It is really nice on the auto. Helps w/ the down shift and lets the truck work its way down. I know I'm on my brakes a whole lot less (don't have to scrub my rims as much )
