E4OD converter lock

Here's the Q- I have a '93 F150 5.8L w/ E4OD. When it shifts to third, 90% of the time the converter locks right then at the shift. The prob is that the rpms drop way out of the power groove when pulling a load. Then again, the other 10% of the time it shifts to third, builds a few hundred rpms, locks up for a few hundred, then shifts to OD. Kind of like a five speed. What in the world is it supposed to do. It sure pulls better when it doesn't lock up right when it shifts to third. The tranny has 70k on it.

Thanks all,

Mac

Hi Mac,
Hate to tell you this, but that's the way Ford programmed it. Don't ask me why, I found it totally frustrating too.
