Did you notice if the trans was shifting faster than before? Also do you have a big trans cooler?

After putting everything back together, when I took It for a spin on the freeway, it shifted normally, as always, nice firm shifts(all 4). The lock-up never happened. I have the stock radiator setup for cooling.

I'm having a hard time understanding the pressure switches, normally open/psi, closed, and normnally closed/psi open. I just want to know which switch will pass 12 volts through, when the pressure is on, and won't pass current when the pressure is off. Does "open" mean that there's no current going through, or does "closed" mean that there's current going through, or the other way around. I'm referring to the two stub pressure switch.
I think I just confused the hell out of myself, I hope you guys understand what im trying to figure out here, cause I'm like:banghead:

Normaly open because it will not close until the set psi is met. Im still not understanding. How you jumped the pressure switch?

I Just put a short wire from stub to stub. I think I might have fried it when I did that, at least I hope I did, and that's why I think i didn't get lock-up. If not, its gotta something else. Does closed mean that the current is going through?

Yup you fried the contacts inside. No worries just put the new one in (the same place) and ride.

Yeah, I ordered another one online, the transmission shops around town must have only the ones made out of gold, their prices are ridiculous. Should be here tomorrow. I swear, this lockup thing has got me losing sleep over it, but I ain't gonna let it go while its alive!

While you up for ordering get a big trans cooler and ride with confidence! That stock deal is ok if you want to warm up the fluid in the winter....

A lot of city, stop and go, and a lot of freeway. Tires are 33/12.50/20

Awesome tire combo bro! https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=819492&cc=1030824. is what i have now. I'd get that. Even though it doesn't show the rad connector mine came with it. Hope yours does too. if not their like $10. This will prolong the life of your trans. Easy install once you find something to mount it. No cutting off the original trans lines just the hose supplied. It flows excellent with no worries of blockage...
