This way, idle throttle allows TCC slip so stall out does not occur. I usually just flip the switch when it gets down to when the engine makes grumbling noises -- 1100-1300 or so (or when D-Coast is required for longer engine-on coasts).

Here, you can find the RPM switch installation instructions. If you look around, you'll find a how-to on making your own "pills" to select the RPM range at which the switch is closed. I'd probably look into making one that closed the switch at 1300-1500, I think.
Nice -- that sounds like a good solution. 1300 sounds about right.
