Re: 700r4 lock-up kits

As a note of importance, make sure whatever kit you buy has a brake switch override as part of the lock up kit. If you make an emergency stop while the TC is locked up your truck can stall and if you have power brakes makes it very difficult to stop.

I had a different kit in my truck before the BTO kit and almost got in an accident when some asshat pulled out in front of me and my truck stalled.

The override switch unlocks the TC when you push on the brakes.
