Let me know if this is what's happening.

Interestingly, at least to me, Bill, is how the converter tends to stay locked with the cruise control on when going downhill. At least it did on our trip to and from California. It's almost as though it's trying to maintain the speed in a coast situation (up to a point of course) instead of just letting the vehicle speed up.

Also, reducing the shift points and torque converter lockup points both for upshifts and downshifts does seem to have helped get rid of the "eagerness" to unlock under mild load that I complained about before.

I know this post is a bit of a hijack, but thought it might add something to the knowledge base.
