Ats co pilot?

[Puller810]

Anyone ever run one? Does it work as advertised? As I read you can command it to lock and stay locked from drive to OD (2nd if you have a modded valve body). 

Kind've tired of the factory pcm tranny control and fighting with lockup issues. Thoughts?

It is just an expensive lockup switch.

 

What lockup issues?  

[Puller810]

I posted my problems in my other post "bought a bit of a basket case" 

I so wish there was an hptuners for these trucks. 

Looking at options right now. I've ran the quick 4 tranny controllers for 4l80's in Cummins swaps and absolutely loved the tunability. 

I just want to program how and when the conv. locks, when it shifts into O.D. and when it unlocks the conv. 

[Me78569]

I understand that desire.  The 47re is pretty dumb though.

 

The anteater is close but they still can't unlock for shifts, at least last time i checked.

They make a fully electric programmable valvebodyinr pressure shifts everything

Kind of why I like NV4500 5 speed manual transmissions. They are locked up in ALL gears. No programmer need. 

 

Seriously I understand what you are talking about. Like there is a point like my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 will downshift to 3rd and unlock and remain that way pulling little grades and just generates a ton of heat. You have to remember to hit the O/D OFF button and then in locks up. Then once you hit flat ground again you gotta remember to hit the button again to get 4th lockup. I'm not very impressed with the 46RE or 47RE they all seem to have the same weird shift habits and not locking or hold a gear they way you wish.

Yup, I loved my 02 with a nv5600 and all three of my 3rd gens had g56's. 

 

Not real concerned with the converter staying locked for 3-4 shift. I manually lock it now in 3rd and let it shift locked. It's firm but not terrible. I do have a billet input though.
