Once the locker comes out for the 5 speed ill probably get it. I'm going to mount it in a different place though. Tony claims it works but have yet to see anyone use it or review it.

They said last week it would be a couple weeks before the 5 speed comes out. I'm picking it up as soon as it does.

well now that we know there is an overwhelming demand for a 5 speed version has anyone used the 6 speed

Haha, only real trucks have 5 speed Allison's. Especially trucks that run way overly excessive tuning on a 206,500 mile stock trans... If you call DHD tomorrow text me and let me know what's up.

hmmm.......this has my attention. Be looking at getting a bt lock up box, but this one is cheaper. Makes me wonder if there is a reason its cheaper. Does the auto mode work like ben's? does the tc kick out after 30 secs or stay locked up? Someone how has one speak now!

5 speed for me too!! I wanted a lockup box but didn't want to do business with Ats or bt for well known reasons

x10 just about on 5spd lock up box. i understand why you dont like ATS but why not BT diesel works? ive heard nothing but good things about them. if you mean just because of the prices i could see your point there.

I have it in my truck and love it!!! The auto is factory control of convertor and when you flip it to manual you then have complete full control of the lock up! It is all or nothing with no worries if it is going to do its job or not. Have it in some sled pullers also with great success! :thumb:

What do you mean factory control? Does that mean if your in T/H the converter will lock in 2nd under WOT instead of at the top of 3rd like factory? Also does the converter auto unlock? or does it stay locked in? There is a lot info on the bt box, but not much about this one.

By factory control I mean how it acts with no box installed. It's supposed to lock in 2nd gr but they never seem to do what they are supposed to depending on power level and convertor type. This is why we all want lock up control, right? No it doesn't auto unlock, it is full manual control when the switch is in manual mode. There are no questions, you flip the switch and hold on. I absolutely love it on the dyno because it doesn't time out and unlock the convertor when you are in the middle of a wide open pull at 1100+hp is not a pretty thing:mad: My BT box was really good at that which is not a good thing.
