Todd, I just thought of two other problems with that vintage E4OD transmission. The turbine hub inside the torque converter wanted to wear into the inside of the converter cover and cause all sorts of nasty things to happen. Diesel torsionals are very hard on the transmission especially to the converter during the lockup mode. The older open converters allowed the torsionals to be absorbed in the hydraulic converter coupling.

Also the switch on the side of the transmission (drivers side) surrounding the manual lever tends to want to get contaminated with dirt and water and short out. This causes the gear selection signal being sent to the computer to be in error and consequently incorrect elements are applied causing the lockup you describe. The switch is the easiest to change and costs about $40.

Good luck and hope this helps.
