TCC lock: 26~28
4th OD: 41
I can drive around at 35 MPH with the TCC locked at 1550 RPM.

you don't have the same transmission than I, you have a different final drive, assuming you have the 3.1 vs 3.8. With the 225/60R16 tires I hit 3rd by 28mph, and it'll kick down to 2nd if I go much lower. 4th won't engage until 39mph. 3rd "locks" in the sense that the rpm shift is minimal, but it doesn't lock 1:1, and as speed increases so does the flex in the 3rd rpm range. So not real "lock" there. And 4th, or OD lock can't handle much torque before unlocking into 4th, and on some of the mountains here my speed decreases such going up that it has to backshift to 3rd to make it.
