BD TorqLoc
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows of a BD TorqLoc transmission.
I just bought a 99 dually with one in it and Im trying to figure out how to use it properly.
Its got a 3 position switch.
Anyone?

I went to BD's website and here is what I found:
I'd leave it in the stock setting, but that's just me.
You Decide When the Torque Converter Locks or Unlocks for Maximum Control!
Command the torque converter to stay locked, stay unlocked, or revert to OEM settings with the BD TorqLoc. Flip the toggle switch to position one, and the lock-up clutch is engaged, so transmission temperature remains low and the exhaust brake can work with 100% effectiveness (this is a manual setting and should only be selected under light load/light power conditions, such as highway driving).
Position two reverts back to stock function, or can be wired to unlock the torque converter. Position three acts as an AutoLoc by commanding lock-up only when the exhaust brake is engaged - perfect setting for every day driving in all situations.
Additionally, the TorqLoc has an Overdrive “inverter” option which allows the transmission to start out in Drive which will prevent upshift into the Overdrive gear - great for those who live in city/urban areas. Also, if you have a BD Valve Body with the second gear lock-up capability, the lock-up can be set to hold until 5-10 mph.

Well it was one of the reasons I bought this truck because I wanted something to tow my Bobcat so I guess i better find out how to use it.
Theres also a engine brake switch but Ford told me not to use it?
