So irt slips in OD when accelerating? Could just be the clutches in the OD pack are worn out at that mileage. The trans will downshift to accelerate when a certain percentage of throttle is applied, the OD gear isnt really designed to accelerate th ecar, just hold it at low rpm cruising for mileage
