See this is what THOUGHT should be happening. I was pretty confused how I'd ever get any kind of engine braking with how it acts now. I'll dig into it when I get a chance. Kind of have to triage things so this is lower in the list. Gotta figure out the brakes at the moment.

Okay that makes sense. In the unlikely event the engine is stuck at full throttle, I'll just put it in neutral which is what you'd do anyway. Thanks for clearing that up.

Right, a test is performed to make sure a device performs a certain way so you know it will perform properly in the course of using said device. In this case, I don't understand what the "use" is. Why do I need the TCC to unlock while pressing the throttle and brake at the same time while...

What real world situation is pressing the brake and the throttle at highway speeds simulating though? Why would I need to disengage the TCC while pressing the throttle while also simultaneously pressing the brake? Sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand what possible...

When I let off the throttle and RPMs drop to idle while driving 60 mph, is that the torque converter unlocking? I don't see how it would be possible to do that with the torque converter locked. My trans light is not illuminated if that matters. My TCC absolutely is locking but I am trying to...

Is it bad if it doesn't do this? My TCC does lock up fine but doesn't unlock when I press the brake because the switch isn't working for whatever reason. It does unlock when I let off the throttle though so I'm not sure what purpose the brake switch serves since I won't be braking and pressing...

I'm pretty sure it's unlocking as soon as I let off the throttle or it wouldn't be going to idle. Unless I'm missing something obvious?

I guess my follow up question is why do we need to unlock the torque converter when pressing the brake if it's going to unlock when it gets back down to slow speeds anyway? Essentially, my question is, is it a big deal if my torque converter switch doesn't do anything for whatever reason?

I took it up to 70 for the first time last night. As soon as I let off the throttle, RPMs drop to idle. Is that normal or should it hold and provide some engine braking?

Yes I'm tracking that aspect of it. I just don't understand what this switch does? Pressing the brake unlocks the converter but it seems to unlock any time I let off the throttle or the engine RPM wouldn't be at idle when rolling 50 mph. What is it supposed to be doing? I imagine holding rpm...

I've been messing with the position of this switch such that it always reads continuity and also such that it always reads open regardless of pedal position. I have noticed no difference in the behavior of the truck whatsoever. Let off the throttle and RPMs drop down to idle while rolling...
