I read that I can use a switch to control lockup (on/off). Know anything about it?

I'm wanting to say it's a Sweet mfg. It's a double u-joint. 3/4" double D to 3/4 double D....what brand is your steering shaft u joint coupler? Do you happen to remember the spline count, and dd size?
Gears are probably way easier than a torque converter. lol.
I agree on this. I remember when I was trying to get in the 7's (1/8th mile) with mine it was difficult-major brick wall. The truck would always run 8.20's @ 84.51 in the heat(1/8th) and 12.70's (1/4) around 101-103. I still question why this particular Ex isn't running faster than 13.50's@ 97! Mine was only a v6 on 8 psi of boost. I am curious to see a timeslip. There is so much more that is available in this particular vehicle. Please do not take any of this statement wrong I am just curious. Just for comparison my Ex made 425hp/448 torque on 8 psi. She was tuned to the ragged edge ( I never would have sent a customer tune out this hot).These 4dr Explorers weigh close to 4500lbs, so a 15 second time is definitely fast. It's not like newer sports cars that have variable valve timing and DOHC, big power per CI, 3500lbs light etc.
Keep at it, have fun and be safe.
