Overdrive Disable Switch – Can I install an overdrive disable switch on my truck to prevent shifting in and out of 5th gear?
A. The latest transmission calibrations for MY01 and MY02 pickups are capable of receiving a switch input that will inhibit a 4-5 upshift. GM has produced an O/D disable switch kit and it is available through GM dealers. MY03 and forward, GM pickups have the O/D disable switch installed from the factory. GM Dealers can reference Service Bulletin Doc ID 1243294 for further information.
