As stated below, it's a heat thing. Heat kills your transmission, and towing in o/d puts a heavy load on it, thus, generating a LOT of heat. If the trans gets TOO hot, the PCM will automagically disable o/d, and the light in the dash comes on. The fact that you HAVE the light in the dash, indicates you should have an O/D off switch somewhere. Should be a button on the end of the shifter handle???
I swapped a 360 into a shorie van and we didnt have time nor could figure out how to swap the steering collum. Everthing works fine..I just dont have an overdrive cancel button..i need to figure out how to make one.
I never towed anything this heavy...a 1000lbs trailer is nothing - and OD can be used with that...but with my RV NO WAY...Im glad the PCM turned it off...
SO i need to figure out how to get that done
