Basically it is 5th gear in this transmission. With overdrive on, it will allow the transmission to shift to 5th gear, which will let the truck move faster with less engine rpm's. More fuel efficient. If you are towing or hauling a lot of weight (over 1000 pounds), it is better for the engine and transmission to turn overdrive off.
