You can't lock the converter in 1st gear on a 5 speed. You can however shift from 2nd into 1st with the converter already locked and it will stay locked after it shifts to 1st.
What would be the point?

1st high should be like a inbetween 2nd and 3rd low unless the numbers I have is wrong
but it still doesnt change the fact that even if you shift to 2nd, lock the converter, and downshift to 1st, the converter will unlock by itself after a second or two (on a 5-speed)
Lol well good yall help me out with the correct numbers then if yall dont mind 4 high and 4 low
Ben, what gives??? I have been leaving you messages, and PM's but no responce. None of which has ever been negative. If you don't want me to call atleast tell me to f#$% off. I have always answered the phone for you and always tried to help....????
hey ben msg me please. we need to see if we can get one of these top of the line rigs in and tested before Schied. thanks!!!
That would still be a pretty fast final, better have some shit in front of it, or a light sled.
the reason i asked is because I have pulled in 4hi 1st and in certain situations it seems to work better then 3rd 4low like when the sled is set light.
Yeah I would really just like to have one! Don't care what generation! Just pm me please Ben!!

Its a lot lower then 4th, I was thinking if the track was taking a lot of power or it was a short track it might a better option then jumping down to 3rd.

Oh yeah, a lot slower than 4th, 4th with 373s is real fast. If you had stock gears it would be an option. It might be harder on parts tho. I dont know if any truck could pull 4th with 373s on our tracks anymore. Wonder what would happen when you tried to lock the converter in second tho? High 12s seems to be a pretty fast final for the tracks and sleds around here and out east in the "mecca" lol, almost sucked the life out of my truck at platte city, i think that was the heaviest sled ive ever pulled.
Maybe that's why I can't seem to get the rpm's out of mine that a lot of guy's do.
I was under the impression that most of the top dmax's ran 4th with 3.73's. Guess I need to do more research....
We pull a sled called the "magnum", its a very heavy sled and he likes to shut us off at 250-280 feet. You better make sure you get in 4th early pulling that thing or not at all.
