it's in my 92 2500 2wd, 6.2Diesel powered truck.
I had a rear end grenade, and the transmission followed shortly thereafter.
I had the 4L80 rebuilt, and it has not shifted consistently into OD since.
when I got it back, the tech noted on the computer that the brake switch was keeping it out of lockup, and told me that was the likely candidate for original failure, due to heat buildup. I installed a large plate style cooler downstream of the rad cooler, and replaced the brake switch. the lockup started working, but whenever you drive the truck you get OD, until the first need for drop down, then it downshifts to 3rd, and will not recover until you turn the key off and restart. SOMETIMES the OD will stay on during a drive, but not regularly, and not often.
also, at 55/65 with OD on, it almost immediately drops down to 3rd.
