Thanks for the link! I hooked up my switch to manually unlock my torque converter this morning. I took it down the road and it works great! The only problem though is after a few miles the OD light started flashing and when I put the switch back to the on position ( which is letting the computer control the torque converter operation ) it would shift really hard through all the gears??? Is this normal for a 97 f350 to do that and will it hurt my tranny? Is there a fix to fool the computer to think it still has control even though I manually unlocked it? Thanks in advance!

I bought a TS performance chip brand new for $230 shipped. Put it in today and WOW what a difference. I really wanted the TW chip but for the price I couldn't turn it down. When I unhooked the batteries during install it cleared the flashing O/D light and the transmission locked up a lot softer than before. Overall I'm pretty happy with the performance and shifting. As far as boost I'm hitting 20psi no problem and that wasn't even wide open throttle! I had to back out as I was on a back road in town.
