Torque converter controller

I want to be able to lock up my torque converter to go with the exhaust brake, and have tried the Mystery switch which didn't work so hot. I see different electronic controllers that do basically the samething, but take the error of leaving the switch on out of the picture. My question, do these controllers basically cause the same issues when connected as the switch did? i.e. having to have the PCM reflashed? I own a '96, and on the TST site, they state with the Mystery Switch, some '96's needed reflashing after installation. The dealer said they can't do a reflash, only upgrades. Their position is, if it needs reflashing, it needs replacing. It makes you wonder about their ability.
