The high switch relay is then latched to the low switch relay so it stays locked until the low pressure switch is released. Kind of confusing I know and I would have to dig up the schematic again myself to redo it but it locks up at about 46-47 and unlocks at about 42-44 MPH. Otherwise it will hunt between lock and unlock at the pressure switch setting.
I ran the whole deal through the O/D circuit in the PCM so I wouldn't get lockup without it being in O/D and used a third relay in that circuit so I wouldn't burn the driver out in the PCM. Works like factory, really.


Sounds like a better idea, John might have had the PATC style simple switches in mind for the comment.
My 97 RAM locks in 3rd and OD and the feel is noticeable. Since I installed 3.21 gear set in the diff climbing the local 6% grade in 3rd lockup is perfect.
