Default Irregular Overdrive?
I just got the truck back from the trans shop, had a reman put in. I'm a little unsure if the overdrive is operating normally. Watch the quick vid and see for yourself.

Thats fine. That is the OD engaging then your torque converter locking up.

lol i understand how overdrive works, but I'm not so sure it should be kicking up and down TWICE each time.

Into OD, TC locks up. Press OD off button. TC unlocks, shifts out of OD, locks up again. The tranny should not do any shifting with the TC locked up. My truck does the same double "kicks".
