If that is the case, it should just be a simple adjustment of the contacts in the solenoid that disengage the "pull" coil to remedy the problem.

Thanks! I left my overdrive booklet at home and regretted that decision as soon as I saw the blown fuse a couple weeks ago.
That makes a lot of sense, and I could easily see that that might be my problem. Last time I had the solenoid out, I noticed that the contact points were in very poor condition. That solenoid really needs to be rebuilt, so I'm probably going to get that done in the spring.

I did test the solenoid in the other trans I picked up back in September. It works good, so I might just swap them out and keep driving the truck
