Here is the post I did earlier this year as I installed a combo exhaust brake and torque converter lock. I found a side benefit that with the trans lock switch "on" that the truck will barely start and then immediately die due to the transmission pulling the engine down.

I bought one of the Dfuser switch hookups to use the existing EBPV as an exhaust brake and it's switch to lock the trans a couple of weeks ago. The service from Garret was fantastic when I made the order. It was easy to install, except fot that stupid wire on the harness under the master cylinder, but I got it. I tested it last night on the trip to Phoenix for a vintage race so the toy hauler was full of race car, etc. In the auto mode when you tap the brakes it slowed the car really well and very little actual brakes were needed coming down the mtns into the desert. I think this is a pretty darn good alternative to spending lots more $$$$$ on an aftermarket brake.

Ive never heard of anyone making a torque converter lock up "switch"
for the 6.0L/TorqueShift.

are you guys talking about 6.0 or 7.3 (and btw it would be helpful if you
filled out your profiles & sig. blocks so we knew what you drove)
