While it is possible to prevent converter lockup, it's not a good idea. When the converter is unlocked, the slippage generates heat, the transmission's #1 enemy. Also, when the OD is engaged the rotating planetary gears generate more heat.

The better thing to do is lockout the OD when towing and let the converter lock up. The owners manual advises this.
