Yeah I have heard that if I dont lock it up it will act just like a TH350, and they dont lockup. The lockup feature on the TH350C just locks up the TQ so that you can run 300-500 RPM slower at highway speeds. And get some better gas mileage, but not much. I have also had several people tell me that the lock up feature was the reason their transmission went bad.

Alright, I haven't ever done any of this before, it was just something I was thinking about. I am running it without the canister, but I think the line might be plugged up because when I remove the filler hose cap, it sucks in a lot of air.

Nothing new, been driving it while I build my crew cab. Right now it's battery less as I have the battery in my crew cab. Not sure what is going to happen with this truck.

Well this trucks plans are changing. My crew cab had a little fire so I'm tearing it down for the cummins swap and putting the 6.2/sm464/205 into this truck from the crew cab. I'm starting the tear down this weekend and hope to have it running soon with the 6.2. The reason I'm pulling the 350 out is because it just doesn't run as good as it should and it needs rebuilt and the 6.2 works great and I seem to want to convert all my stuff to diesel and manuals

Right now it is going under an axle swap. Had the front axle over heat and blew up a bearing and I had some 8 lug axles and some 33 inch tall tires around so I am swapping everything. I guess I could update this thread again soon. Have not updated it sense I put my 6.2/sm465 in the truck.
