Personally, I would not want my TC to unlock when I put on the brakes because you would lose the increase in compression braking that comes with having the switch engaged. I absolutely hated that from the first time I drove this rig.

I have also started hitting the switch the minute I start moving. It locks and causes the trans to stack the shifts into third. I hit third about 20 MPH and it seems to have increased my in town mileage about a mile to the gallon.
Just be careful. Locked shifts aren't nice on stock transmission shafts.
