I finished doing my torque converter lockup about an hour ago. Very easy to do once you find the correct wire. The correct wire is in the long rectangle plug on the firewall. For a 2000 it is in hole #54. It is purple w/ yellow stipe. Tested it out and holy ****, will dump the smoke now!!! I love it. Would recommend for everyone to do it.

Well I would guess that yours will be the same as my truck. Under the master brake cylinder there is three square blocks that go into the firewall. To the left of them there is a rectangle block that also goes into the fire wall. It take a small hand and a 10mm socket to get it out. I had to remove the fuse block holder so I could get down in there. FIRST UNHOOK THE BATTERY. After pulling the plug from the fire wall. Remove the black cover over the back of the plug. All of the wires going into the plug are numbered. It should be in hole 54. Cut the wire and solder all three wires back together. Run the wire inside the cab to a switch and ground. Reinstall everything and should work great. Let me know if you have anymore questions and the final results.

Ok good luck and have patience because it is a small area to work. Also check out the these instructions: http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/tclock.html. The wiring diagrams are not right though.

If some dip*&^% were to say down shift into first when going freeway speeds, does the truck screech all over ruin the tranny or maybe worse? Also what is the main benifit of this mod?

Yep, what mark said. Ive tried that with my work truck, going 50mph locked in 4th gear (5r110) i had about 2200 rpms and it didnt want to downshift until i lessened my speed. When it finally shifted it was way up close to 4000 under full load so i shifted back into D and let the trans do its own thinking. Last time i'll do that.

That is why I want it also.
