From the factory, the default is On. (lite off) There was a DIY around here somewhere to revers that though. If 99% of your driving is below 50mph, probably not a bad idea.

I don't use OD unless I'm going over 50mph on the freeway

And never when towing/hauling

So I should just keep the light off then when it works again? I drive around 55-70 most of the time.

Nope mine is on when I fire up the truck, I shut it off as soon as the truck is started. Even with the 4.56 it was kept off most of the time.
