Overdrive question
So I have 1998 Dodge Ram 5.9 sport, if I'm on the highway and use overdrive, so let's say I click it off then when I click it back on theres a long pause and it will not smoothly get back into overdrive. If I'm towing I can't stay overdrive off its rev to high at about 65 mph. When I bought the truck it needed a lot of work and one of the things I replaced was all the solenoids and what not in the bottom of the tranny. Truck shifts mint, but if the overdrive is switch back on when the highway it seems to be hurting the tranny, any ideas?

Problem with towing in O/D is: The trans generates a LOT of heat that way. Heat is what kills your trans fluid, with hard parts following close behind. A temp gauge wouldn't be a bad idea....
The pop-up camper may not be too bad, but, hauling another car on a trailer in O/D is pretty much guaranteed to toast your trans. The 46R? trannies weren't really the best when they were brand new......
Some delay going into O/D should be expected, if you think the delay is excessive..... first thing is to make sure you have enough fluid. Always check the fluid in neutral, checking in park will give you an artificially high reading.
