BD Diesel Torq/UnLoc Kit – Part # 1030398
$564.99
Command the torque converter to stay locked, stay unlocked, or revert to OEM settings with the BD TorqLoc. Flip the toggle switch to position one, and the lock-up clutch is engaged, so transmission temperature remains low and the exhaust brake can work with 100-percent effectiveness (this is a manual setting and should only be selected under light load/light power conditions, such as highway driving). Position two reverts back to stock function, or can be wired to unlock the torque converter. Position three acts as an AutoLoc by commanding lock-up only when the exhaust brake is engaged – perfect setting for every day driving in all situations. Additionally, the TorqLoc has an Overdrive inverter option which allows the transmission to start out in Drive which will prevent upshift into the Overdrive gear – great for those who live in city/urban areas. Also, if you have a BD Valve Body with the second gear lock-up capability, the lock-up can be set to hold until 5-10 mph.Also available is the Torq/UnLoc which acts the same as the TorqLoc but in the third position the converter is prevented from locking up.

The BD Diesel Torq/UnLoc Kit (Part # 1030398) is designed to enhance transmission control and improve towing performance in heavy-duty applications. This advanced device allows precise command over the torque converter lock-up function, enabling drivers to optimize fuel efficiency, reduce transmission wear, and maintain consistent retarding force during towing or urban driving conditions. The kit offers multiple settings: Lock (Position 1) engages the lock-up clutch for low-temperature operation and effective exhaust braking, while Position 2 restores stock function or can be wired for unlock mode. Position 3 provides an AutoLoc feature, engaging lock-up only when the exhaust brake is active, making it suitable for daily driving in varying conditions. An Overdrive inverter option is included to start transmission in Drive mode, preventing early upshift into Overdrive when city driving, which is beneficial for maintaining engine braking and fuel economy. For vehicles equipped with a BD Valve Body with second gear lock-up, the lock-up can be set to hold until 5-10 mph for smoother operation. The Torq/UnLoc kit also prevents slippage and high oil temperatures, ensuring the transmission operates within safe limits under severe towing or high-stress conditions. Built for durability, it features a 12-month or 24,000-mile warranty, providing reliable performance for heavy-duty fleet and automotive use. Proper installation requires understanding your vehicle’s transmission specifications, and adherence to recommended setup procedures is critical for optimal results. This kit is suitable for 1997-2000 GMC C3500 trucks, among other compatible diesel and gas-powered heavy-duty vehicles, and is engineered by BD Diesel to meet demanding fleet requirements.
