    TCC not Locking up after Diesel conversion

    Original: 99 Tahoe 2dr with 5.7 Vortec 4l60e 4x4
    Converted: removed 5.7 and replaced with 6.5 side mounted turbo diesel and lower stall converter

    Did the conversion and made sure ecm get sensors feed for the following:
    - TSP
    - engine speed
    - engine temp
    - intake temp
    - maf is available but cause erratic (long, high rev, soft) so its disconnected.
    - map is also connected but the sensor is a 2 bar unit from the new 6.5 turbo diesel

    Change out the torque converter for a lower stall unit to fit the diesel profile. Trans behaves normal except for lock up. It will not lock in 3rd or 4th. PWM is steady at 96.1%.

    things done with HP tuner:
    - adjust shift table to match diesel rpm
    - disable abuse mode

    Manual lock up does happen when I force it in the in VCM scanner app when I commanded with TCC Lock on\off

    Any help with making the trans TCC locking up like its suppose to will be super appreciated.

    Does any one know the lock up conditions required for the Vortec ECU/TCM ?
