I think it does lock around 35-45 but there again that's why I asked how do you know.

So I would be running higher rpm's in OD if it didn't lock? Is it supposed to lock up at the shift into OD or soon after the shift? When I switch OD off while in OD the Rpm's jump up and then drop 200-400 rpm's. I assume this is the converter unlocking and then locking again.

Thanks guys for the responses! Sorry I forgot about the signature hopefully it helps someone else with input. How can you tell if the converter has locked?

I'm sure all this has been covered before buy this is my first CTD so here we go:#1 my tranny seems to shift into OD too soon after hitting 3rd. It shifts into 3rd around 2000-2200 rpm's and almost immediately shifts into OD. the Rpm's drop from 2200 to 1400-1600 when it shifts. Is this normal? Is there anyway to prolong the shift into OD to help keep the power and rpm's up?#2 is it ok to pull small(6000-8000 lbs) loads in OD? It just seems that on the highway at 60+ mph that OD off is just too rapped out. Is it safe to pull in OD at those speeds?
