overdrive

Is Overdrive supposed to be On by Default on these Sports Tracs ? Is it Normal to drive Daily Drives with OverDrive ON ? Meaning when I start and drive my Truck the OverDrive OFF Light is OFF whch to me means its ON and Turns Off When I push Overdrive Button and "OverDrive OF" Light is ON

I've got a 95 XLT 4.0 OHV 4x2, and the O/D light is blinking and it won't shift into overdrive. It didn't start flashing the O/D off light until one day when I was pulling a trailer with only a push lawn mower in it. (nothing heavy) I figured that connecting the trailer to the plug that supplies...

I am starting a new thread after trying several times to find an answer to my problem in existing threads. I have not found anything to help yet so maybe my issue is unique. I bought an 2006 Eddie Bauer Explorer 4.0 L for my wife in late 2015. The motor died in 2016 and I put in a crate motor...

I have a 2000 Sport, 126,000 miles. The check fuel cap light came on, then the check engine light. The first facility replaced the fuel cap but didn't tell me the code or diagnose it. I don't think they knew what to do other than reset the light. It was fixed on a Friday and both lights were...

I have a 98 explorer sport, and while driving, my car doesn't seem to go above 3rd gear. Driving on the street is fine, i can still accellerate fine to well above the speed limit, but when Im on the freeway, the higher gears don't engage, and the revs will just keep going higher as I accelerate...

First time driving the explorer yesterday and my shifts are wierd and had high rpms through all gears 3000 at 55 new vacuum modulator and hose idle in gear is like 870-990 ish I need some help what's going on with the transmission? Is it valve body issues or is it toast, also when I bought it 2...

Have a 2002 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 6cyl engine with automatic transmission with push button overdrive stuck in or out. The overdrive has quit working and is stuck in overdrive. Any helpful solutions or ideas ?

Hi All: First, lemme say what an awesome forum this is. I've spent the last three days reading intently and learning a ton. Thanx! My GF has a 03 Explorer with a 5R55S tranny; about 180K miles. Over the past four months or so, I've noticed a shudder at about 55-60mph that occurs...

The overdrive is off and the button doesn't turn it on.

My 98 Explorer will not disanage the lockup OD under load. As I push the throttle more, it finally downshifts but with big jerk, and then disengages. However, if I tap the break while pushing the throttle, all is good as the break forces the OD to unlock and down shifting is good. Here is the...

I have been reading up on P0775 code and getting a lot of mixed ideas on a fix. So to start I have a 2005 Explorer XLT Sport 4x4. Transmission was overhauled almost one year ago witch included a new overdrive planetary, drum & band. Overheating caused the issue. Now I was driving around...

I have two Aerostars. One is a 1997 AWD to which this post does not apply. I also have a 1992 2WD for which this post was written. I searched and searched and could not find anything that matches these symptoms. It may be something as simple as a blown fuse, or shorted wiring or both. I am...

So i did have my od light blinking and abs light on so i replaced the vss and the abs hasnt turned on since, only problem is that the od off light blinks continously once the truck warms up. it has no shifting problems what so ever, actually it shifts like a dream! any advice? i just bought it...

My '94 4WD 4.0 Explorer (in the family since new) with about 170,00 miles on it was leaking transmission fluid from the servo covers. When checking the transmission fluid level before starting it would be good but if the transmission started to slip, I'd check it again and would have to add...

Hey all. I have a 98 Eddie Bauer :exp: a few months back it started doing some weird stuff... While going up hill at rates of 45 MPH there was this weird grinding noise coming from the area of the transmission. If I turned the O/D off the noise would go away and I would continue to climb in...

Hello everyone, my girlfriend has a 2002 Explorer XLS and the other day after a heavy storm she says she went through a puddle of water after which the OD light started flickering, its not on or flashing it just flickers. That would not be a big deal since i figured the thing would dry up...

I have a 2003 Eddie Bauer Explorer with 204,000 miles. All freeway miles except for occasionally pulling a single axle trailer with < 1000 pounds on it. The only parts changed so far are tires, alternator, and all 4 axle bearings. This is a great truck/car. Last week, the O/D light started...

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT, VIN X, 6-Cyl. When in Drive, pressing the O/D button does nothing, regardless of speed, failing to disengage Overdrive. When I sit idle and go through P, R, N, D, 2, 1, pressing the O/D button only fails to toggle on/off in D. I removed the switch on the...

My 2.3L 2002 Ford Ranger is experiencing some rough ride issues. After the vehicle warms a bit, at about 40 MPH, when i step on the throttle, the engine revs heavy, and feels as though it is downshifting. And then the Overdrive Off light turns on. I have replaced the steering column to attach...

Hey peeps, I've recently purchased a '95 Eddie Bauer with a low low 240000 miles on it. I'm wanting to do some plugs and wires and am not sure if I should go with stock motorcrafts, or something more expensive. This is the first I've ever worked with the coil packs. I'd like to get better power...

Hey I have a question and I was wondering if you guys might know the answer. When I drive in overdrive at about 45 to 50 MPH the engine cuts out and sputters but if I go faster or slower it doesn't do it. It also doesn't do that in drive either. I really don't know why it's doing that. Any...

Title says it all. On light throttle shifting into over drive the whole truck will sometimes shudder and slowly slip into OD. Also when I hit the gas and make it downshift from OD it will sometimes shift really hard like a short version of the upshift. It has 165k miles and I recently dropped...

Hello, I'm Bob from Long Beach, CA. I found this site while looking for a possible electrical fix for my 2001 Explorer Sport. The problem was I kept blowing the fuse that powers the Backup Lights, Rear Defroster, Overdrive and one of the 2 cigar lighters. One of your threads lead me...

Hello, I was hoping maybe you all could help. I have a 1995 Explorer which will not shift into overdrive, and the "OD OFF" light flashes. Someone suggested I find the trouble codes, which I did. Just as a piece of information, I have the kind of Explorer that does not have a shift position...
