    Ya the drive through Tulsa was great. The only problem I had was the sh!!tty Oklahoma roads beating up my old truck. Hit a blind pothole at about 60mph and hit was so bad I pulled over to make sure everything was ok. The cruise was definitely a lifesaver.

    Something is still not 100% right with this trans though.
    1.After driving ~5+ miles with the converter locked it starts acting funny like randomly taking 4th gear away and still locking the converter. Or when I slow down and then take off again it shifts abruptly and then locks the converter in 2nd and then again in 3rd while accelerating.
    Another weird thing is something must not be hooked up correctly because I can touch the brake while cruising down the highway and it never unlocks the converter.
    2. I have a DTC P1810 that comes back immediately after being cleared. Im not even really sure what it is after looking it up online but it definitely has to do with the trans. All switches and solenoids have been replaced so it cant be that.
    3. It still has a pause then hard shift when shifting 1-2 hard throttle.
    I am awaiting (in the mail) another vss connector to hook up the other vss. Hopefully that fixes some problems.

    BTW 93blackbeast, remember how the converter wont lock when the cruise control is selected OFF? Well when I get symptom #1 it leaves the converter locked...
