TC unlocking??

Hey guys just a quick run down. I have a 17 F250 6.7 diesel that is fully deleted and I'm running a trans tune as well for better shifting. The TC locks earlier and just small updates. I do not beat on my truck. She is my daily driver so I take care of her. Recently I was driving home 2 nights in a row and hit a rough patch in the road that the plows ripped up and the truck bounced a little and shook than I noticed my rpms went higher and i looked at my gauges and the TC was unlocked at 55 mph so I downshifted and it stayed unlocked for a little bit than locked up. This happened 2 nights at the same spot. Than this evening I hit a differe t rough patch going down a hill 4th gear with the exhaust brake on in the first setting and it was slowing me down and once I hit the patch the truck shifted all the way into 6th and the TC unlocked?? She stayed unlocked for a while. Than I came to a stop and everything was normal again??

any ideas? And this also happened without the trans tunes as well.

Thanks,
AJ

Both have happened to me. I'm not tuned or deleted yet haha. But I think when I hit the pot holes going up a hill and it unlocked maybe it's the computer trying to make sure nothing gets shock loaded. Also happened when going down hill with exhaust brake on. In that case I think it's trying to keep your back wheels from dragging and causing a spin out. Damn safety crap. I think it's normal though and there's nothing wrong with your truck.
