The lock up kit is good for the few reasons I have noticed:
- Lowers trans temps. Havnt ran over 90 degrees on highway (going off scan gauge)
- No hunting for gears or down shifting with slightest accelerator input
- Fuel economy
Things to watch out for is when coming to a stop make sure the TC switch isn't engaged as the engine starts to shake fighting a stall - (true to the name suggesting the converter is locked up)
If you put your foot down, go up a decent hill or slow down it will still shift down a gear.
Can still take a little work to find 5th sometimes but much easier than stock, just need to ease off right foot for it to kick in
All in all, a very good investment if towing regularly
Hiluxxury - we will need to see a pic of that... just cant picture an offroad camper trailer being towed by an X5
Thanks for the feedback GB
That’s exactly the stuff I was wanting to know about
My only issue now is I’m seriously considering upgrading to a 200 series
As for Hiluxxury — that doesn’t count sitting on the street, let’s see some photos of it in the scrub
