Default trans issues with tune

I know its a different car but all you guys here are the cats *** so i figure id get some good info here......

I got my truck tuned (colorado) a few weeks ago and the trans is acting a little weird. He said all he did was bump up the line pressure but now if im cruising at like 5mph in 2nd gear it goes into lock-up and when i hit the gas it stays in lock-up. Doesnt matter if i hit the brakes or not. I have to put it to the floor to hit passing gear or come to a stop and let the trans "re start". Why is my trans staying in lock-up? Does it maby 2 times a week, so not very often. And how high can you go on line pressure on these? (4l60) I dont know where mine is but i want it to shift real firm/hard. Im going to meet up with my tuner in a few weeks so the more info the better. Hes using HP Tuners also and tuning my truck while i drive it.

Just modding line pressure should do that though... Odd..

I have pcms in stock fully tuned for $159 for that truck if you want to try another one to see if it does the same thing...

That be cool but i already paid this guy andi ts pretty good. I gotta meet up with him when he comes back in town so he can check it out. Anything i can tell him to look at in HP Tuners? How high do you run the line pressure? I want it to shift pretty hard. Right now its a little better but still a little sloppy.
