Message:
temp overnight got to around 5 below zero.
driving to work in the morning, 20 mile drive, all interstate- my truck would not shift into overdrive. It acted like it was locked out of overdrive when in fact it wasn't. I hit the overdrive button a few times still would not shift up. Truck has 87,000 miles on it tranny fluid changed at 80,000. could this problem be temperature related??? I have never had any problems before.

Most likely temp. related. I think that the pcm does not activate overdrive until the tranny temp reaches 50F.

Mine did that to this morning, after about 2 miles of city driving, and 4 miles of doing 80mpph she finally kicked into O/D. Next time, try and snap the throttle. Seems to work some times

Just push in the clutch, and shift it to 5th! It's all the over and toward the dash!

well, not a very mechanical idea but - restart your pcm... my r/t wouldnt shift o/d, it would always bounce off rev limiter. i resetted my computer, all was well! worth a shot, no?
