Mines on a switch, I love it, the only thing I think that would be better would be to install the potentiometer to be able to tune the overdrive to my liking.

Does your truck have a trans temp sensor?
If it does, and I think it does, it is running too cool and dropping out of OD to warm it up. Try putting a towel in front of the radiator with it running and go drive it. With my 95 this cured it it really cold weather--like 10 or colder.

You are correct. Im trying to find a way around this problem. I can understand building temperature for pulling heavy loads with the tranny cold. It just gets aggravating when it cycles in and out on the hwy doing 70 mph.
