You
Decide When the Torque Converter Locks or Unlocks for Maximum
Control!
Command the torque converter to stay locked, stay unlocked, or revert
to OEM settings with the BD TorqLoc. Flip the toggle switch to position
one, and the lock-up clutch is engaged, so transmission temperature
remains low and the exhaust brake can work with 100% effectiveness
(this is a manual setting and should only be selected under light
load/light power conditions, such as highway driving).
Position two
reverts back to stock function, or can be wired to unlock the torque
converter. Position three acts as an AutoLoc by commanding lock-up
only when the exhaust brake is engaged - perfect setting for every
day driving in all situations.
Additionally,
the TorqLoc has an Overdrive "inverter" option which allows
the transmission to start out in Drive which will prevent upshift
into the Overdrive gear - great for those who live in city/urban
areas. Also, if you have a BD Valve Body with the second gear lock-up
capability, the lock-up can be set to hold until 5-10 mph.
Also available
is the Torq/UnLoc which acts the same as the TorqLoc but in the
third position the converter is prevented from locking up.

TorqLoc:
Torque converters in the newer trucks have 2 stages: (1) a fluid coupling
occurs first when you are starting, accelerating or pulling up a big
hill, (2) when you are cruising at a constant speed the lock up portion
of the converter is engaged and 100% of each rpm is transferred through
the converter, just like a standard clutch. With the TorqLoc toggle
switch in the first position the lock up clutch is engaged and 100%
of the rpm is transferred, transmission temperatures remain low and
engine retarders work at 100%. This position is manual and should
only be used manually just like a gear would be selected. Factory
convertor (and aftermarket) clutch and drive clutch designs have torque
limitations and this function should only be used under light load
and light power conditions. A adjustable pressure switch is available
to disengage the lock up clutch once a set boost pressure or load
has been achieved. The second position converts the application back
to stock operation or it can be wired to unloc the convertor. The
third position is an AutoLoc position that only maintains a lock up
when the stock computer has already established a circuit. This position
can be safely selected for retarding or under heavy power and load
applications. This position can be selected for every day driving
in all situations. The TorqLoc also has an overdrive inverter option
to have the transmission start in drive. The lock up can be set to
hold on untill 5-10 MPH if you have 2nd gear lock up for slow driving
condidtions.
