Here is where I had it mounted on the truck that Phil bought. It was in the same general location on the Suburban that I "harvested" it from. I just used an existing hole in the firewall for mounting. The wires are not shown in this pic.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the picture. I'll end up doing something like that on mine. Did it end up working well?

Yes, it worked well. The only problem I had was I drive through about a mile of twisting road with hills and valleys-it would sometimes down shift a little sooner than I expected, but at least it didn't lug the motor as it did when I got it. The PO had installed a 5/16" ball above the TCC to make it lock as soon as it shifted into OD. That was no fun when driving through the same stretch of road.
Good Luck!

Right now I have the TCC solenoid wired directly to my brake switch, so it locks as soon as it shifts into OD. It's a pain if I'm driving slow in a residential neighborhood because it really lugs the engine if I try to accelerate a little. I find myself stomping on the gas a lot to get it to shift into 3rd.

The part number of the little delay valve is 14020691 for anybody who is interested.
