Why does your Dodge Ram truck make a ticking sound when it shifts into over-drive or when going up a bridge It sounds like one piston?

Your vehicle is pinging; this is due to the factory timing, grade of fuel, and when you go into overdrive, buck a wind, pull a trailer,go up a grade you will notice it because of the increased load on the engine.Just for a test add an octane booster or fill with preminum next time and see if it dissappears; if it does, ask your dealer if there are any SERVICE BULLETINS on this problem.A light ping does not cause any harm but anymore than a light ping can hurt the engine. I hope this helps you a little.

Anyone with problems with 1997 Ford truck overdrive?
I have a 1997 ford e 350 van with automatic transmission when the transmission shifts form 3rd gear to overdrive at about 50-55 mph it falters and bucks and I have to let off on the gas so it can pick-up speed, when I have overdrive off and put on overdrive when 3rd gear shifts to overdrive at 50-55 mph it shifts smoother but if I give too much gas again it bucks and falters till I let off gas so it can retain speed slowly.

On a 1994 Mazda 626 How do get the button on the shifter to switch back over to automatic from overdrive it is stuck in overdrive and when you push the button it won't switch back?
The button does not switch from Overdrive to Automatic. The button just turns the overdrive off. Overdrive is not a separate drive system as your question implies. Normally you leave the car in overdrive mode. That way the transmission shifts into overdrive at highway speeds, thus saving fuel. If you are saying the transmission is stuck in overdrive and it will not disengage then seek out a A/T professional.

My friends car did the same exact thing. It could be your transmission sensor. I am not exactly sure what the sensor is called but it has to do with the way it shifts. Overdrive sensor maybe?
