Default 4l60e With FTi 4000 Not Locking up!!

My car is a 02 Camaro with bolt-ons, the trans shifts fine and everything feels great but it does not lockup in OD when cruising. The car was tuned for the converter so I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Make sure your misfire tables are raised. If you do not raise them with the new converter it will read false misfires and not lock up.

Also check for codes; sometimes they are hidden and don't light the SES.
After that you will to have to use to scanner that can monitor the TCC command signal.

Take it to your tuner. Have them lock up the converter using the scanner while driving to confirm it works. Then ask him to fix the tune.

This.

Did it just randomly start doing this after locking up fine for awhile? Or has it done ever since the tune?

I went to my tuner and the tune looks good. It quit locking up after trans-go hd2, everything else works fine and shifts like it should. Anyone have any idea what I missed or may have done wrong when doing the shift kit.
Thanks again!!

First, you should have mentioned in your first post that "it quit locking up after trans-go hd2"; that is important info.
The HD2 kit involves installing a different TCC valve; perhaps it was done incorrectly.
The main TCC solenoid was also removed/installed; again perhaps done incorrectly or the wires to it broke. (A broken wire might give you a code.)

I assume the converter was ordered with a TCC.
Did you remember to install the o-ring on the input shaft?
