Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1030398 Torq/Unloc Kit gives drivers direct, manual control over torque converter lockup on select Dodge and GM diesel applications. Factory automatic transmissions rely on computer logic or hydraulic conditions to apply converter lockup, which can be inconsistent during towing, engine braking, or low-speed operation. The Torq/Unloc system allows the driver to command lockup exactly when needed.
By enabling manual lockup, this kit helps reduce transmission heat, improve engine braking on descents, and maintain more consistent power transfer under load. It is especially valuable for towing, plowing, or off-road use where factory lockup strategies may unlock too early or too often.
