   ...The one drive train "problem" I have left is   
   torque converter lockup . It ain't locking up . I'll need to do some   
   testing , it's probably related to all of the original pollution   
   controls going missing while the truck was out of service . My poor gas   
   mileage probably has something to do with that . There are manual   
   workarounds , but I really want this to be automatic .

   On my Honda lock lack was a symptom of a thermostat that wasn't fully   
   closing and let the engine run cooler in the morning than a temperature   
   switch trip point. The torque converter locked around noon after climbing a   
   hill.   
      
   Since I once built production test stations for engine controls I had read   
   the section of my factory shop manual that explained that and immediately   
   realized what was happening.   
      
   The separate engine and emissions control manual for my 1991 Ford Ranger is   
   4" thick.

   I needed it to diagnose an intermittent problem with ignition dwell time.
