[quote=“Dex,post:20,topic:26018"”] what they think is overdrive is the car downshifting was what i was trying to say. you are, actually, 100% incorrect. OD isn’t an upshift at all. it’s no shift. it’s basically just slipping the tranny. [/quote] You have no idea what you are talking about. Overdrive is another gear, and you do shift into it, and your torque converter locks up so that would mean 100% NO SLIP at all. So now you are 100% wrong twice in one thread, maybe you should give up and go read a book or something, try to educate yourself before you post incorrect information multiple times. ---

fuck, you people are confusing TC lockup and overdrive overdrive has nothing to do with tranny slip. no car relies on tranny slip for any sort of normal driving ---

Dealership is trying to screw you over it sounds like try another place if you can. They probably cleared any stored codes on it, and are trying to run the warranty out.

Of which most remotely modern cars have at least one gear like this some even two. ex. A gear ratio of 0.999~:1 or lower would be considered an overdrive gear. ---

sucks to hear about the truck. you should have no prob pulling that load with that truck. my durango went through two transmissions. dodge is know for poor ones. and lol at the “educated” “research rich” people in this thread throwing their weight around. good luck getting it fixed, the extended warranty is gonna be a huge help. let us know if the ecu flash fixes it ---
