Transmission locker???

[GHead]

I was thinking... . I was told that I need a transmission lock-up module, like the ATS Co-pilot, if I install an exhaust brake on my 48RE. Why do I need a transmission locker? Doesn't tow/haul lock up my torque converter already? Does any body know why the guys at my local diesel shop seem to think I need to run a co-pilot with an exhaust brake? Just looking for input.



I have a 2005 Ram 2500 48RE A/T, Smarty CR, Goerend Bros. TC & Valvebody.

t/h mode will lock your tc and with an 05 the computer will help make it lock with the ex brake on. the copilot howver i think would still help out especilly in controling when it locks up

The stock program is a bit flaky in its application of lockup and won't hold it as long as a controller. With the Co-Pilot you can set what speed the lockup engages/disengages at and link the EB to it so it knows to hold the lockup till the set speed.
