Help With Vibrations

Ok, I have been reading all these posts for like the last week and a half, and I have not really seen anything about what mine is doing so will you please help me out if you could.

When I am driving down the road, and the truck switches to overdrive, it has this really bad vibration at about 55-60mph, then it gets better and better the faster I go, it feels like a loss of power to, because it won't climb hills, I don'y know what I should do about this, this is one of four vehicles I have, and I am only 16 So if it is something big, it shouldn't be to hard to fine something else to drive, the only problem is the price, this is the only 4X4 i have and winter in iowa can be bad, but it has been kind of forgiving lately, any of your help would be appreciated, thanks!!



:-X12 Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year:-X12

Ok, I am guessing you have an E4OD auto, and that this is when the torque converter clutch locks up. Maybe some more info on the truck, like what is it?

I am no expert but I have an 89 EB w/302 and AOD.

Someone else will fill you in on why but I am sure that the 89 had only AOD.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, I beleive the easiest way to tell is the location of the O/D shut off switch. The E4OD had it in the end of the gear selector lever and the AOD was on the dash. There may be a few exceptions to this rule but that has been my undersatnding.
