try locking out the overdrive when you are below 55 mph. there is a
service
bulliten on this problem. the tranny overheats due to low fluid flow
while
in overdrive at this speed. the official fix is to replace the spacer
behind the valve body i believe. the tranny will also slip at this speed
in
od when it is really cold. one of the most common causes for this though
is
improper transmission fluid. dodge also has a cold temperature bypass kit
that helps solve the cold issue. have you had the fluid changed recently?
