so i think i figured out why the TCC wont lock when in cruise control. doing some testing i found if i had the TCC release set to unlock at 0% throttle to enhance coasting it would not allow the TCC to lock unless i played with the peddle first and got it to lock then engaged CC. it would still kick out at the slightest hill though. quite a bit different behavior than the 5 speed. my 5 speed will do what i tell it to do. this one seems like a guessing game
need to do some more testing and tune adjusting as i still doesnt want to lock while accelerating.
i currently have the TCC lock set to 1 MPH less than the upshift. thinking that the TCC should stay locked the whole time in gear but it doesnt.
