Diesel and Trans ???

Another Question. I have a 2000 F350 CC 4x4 7.3L w/chip.

When I am going down the highway about 70mph or any speed actually if I let off the throttle and coast and I touch the brake peddle even lightly the RPM's will drop 300 to 500 rpm and appearently it downshifts or comes out of overdrive not sure. As soon as I let off the brake it will shift back into overdrive and the RPM's will go back up you can hear a slight sound diffrence almost like it is a braking system or something. I have had this truck over a year now and I just really started noticing it even thou it probably has always done it. just thought I would ask its just an odd that every time I let off the brake it shifts. Thanks Al

When you tap the brakes it unlocks the torque converter and when you let off if you are above 40 or so the T/C locks back again.
