Exclamation T/C Lockup Mod Questions

I did the T/C Lockup Mod and I really enjoy it. My question is Does it hurt anything to leave it locked it all the time while driving then unlock when i stop? I like locking it in as soon as i take off like 15mph and leaving it lock in till I slow to 15mph. I think it will greatly increase my MPG if i leave it locked in like that I just want to make sure it doesnt hurt anything to do this.

I read on here a few months ago (before I did mine) that the pump in the tranny dont put out enough pressure at 1000 RPM and it could damage the tranny clutches. Then on further searching I read the same damage could occur below 1300 RPM so I try to play it safe and not go below 1300 if possible.
Someone far smarter than I should chime in and set us all straight.

Oki doki and thanks for the info.

Power Strokeme: nice to see that you are the original owner of your truck and with only 80k m. I suppose it is in a very good shape, isnt it?. Congratulations !!
