Torque Converter

Finally back up here after being away from the house for awhile, military, though you would all like to know what I fond about my problem that I've looking into for awhile now. My problem was the torque conveter felt like it was locking and unlocking around 35-40 mph. Didn't do it on acceleration, or when I took my foot off the gas, or if I had a load in the bed. Noticed it more if you used the cruise set at 35. So after trying some trans additive, with no luck, I was looking at a shift kit. But then I was looking more at the torque converter lock up solonoid. So I went under the truck and started looking, fell a sleep for a bit and when I woke up I noticed some electrical connections. I was messing with them, making sure they were plugged in and had some dirt fall out. Decided to just go for a drive, set the cruise at 40 and didn't feel a thing. Drove around for the next few days at different speeds and didn't feel a thing. So now if the rain stops I got some electroinc cleaner, i'm going to disconnect the connectors and clean them good. Beats spend alot of money right now. Just some info to share with everyone.
