Depends on what you are doing...
NEVER TOW in OVERDRIVE, you will burn up the Transmisison
Under normal Driving Conditions, leave it in OD (Overdrive), the vehicle will automatically choose the gear for you
If you are driving up and down Hills (Mountains) where it is shifting back and forth a lot, my own personal preference is to take it out of OD until I am going down the hills. I hate the shifting back and forth and prefer to keep the RPM's up in the 2200 -2350 range to maximize the engine....

thinking here honest i am but - iam thinking that whoever done this work for you has taken money under false pretences as they didnt cure the problem and they should have known what was wrong before they tampered with this vehicle,now a europeon mechanic who know nothing about these cars so try a direct a question to emmisionwiz as hes a ford mechanic so he should have a better idea than me on this but have you re-gassed the AC by anychance recently and put too much gas in the system as this will cause the vehicle to **** but other than that ni idea without my head under the bonnet

thank you so much, i was wondering why every time i turn the car on it is in od
and for Clarifcation: If the OD is showing on your Instrument Cluster then you are OUT of OD. If there is nothing showing, then you are in OD.... Just wanted to make sure you understood
i do now thanks!!
