Is it better to drive with overdrive on or off in a 2002 Dodge Durango?

As with most overdrive-equipped vehicles, the most potential for damage is when the transmission is frequently shifting into, and out of, overdrive. This would most likely occur during some city driving, winding rural roads, or hilly areas with a lot of transitions from uphill to downhill, and visa-versa. Unless you notice it kicking into and out of overdrive often, it's probably not a problem to leave it on.
