I had the same problem. For me it was the speed sensor on the side of the transmission. The part is easy to replace but I believe it cost me something like $130

Another option is a bad coolant temp sensor. Remember that these trucks have 2, so just because the guage is working does not mean that computer is getting a corrent reading. The overdrive control is part of the computer's closed loop (engine warm).

For your sake I hope that it is a coolant temperature. I refused to buy a sensor for the longest time until I finally let in.

Your link did not work for me but the sensor is on the driver side of the transmission in pretty good view. It has a cable running into it.

This is the one that I had to buy
