Overdrive - 4/18/2008 8:58:58 AM    automatic   Posts: 1 Joined: 4/18/2008 Status: offline I just picked up a 96 Dakota a couple weeks ago, one thing i've noticed is that with overdrive on driving at highway speeds RPM's are 300-400 higher then with it off. I'm guessing it should be the opposite no? Post #: 1

If the RPMs are higher and an OD light is on in the instrument cluster, it's working fine.  _____________________________ '07 ST 2WD 3.7 / 6 Speed Flowmaster 40 (in reply to automatic) Post #: 2
