My 1st bricknose, e4od question

Just drove this 8hrs home from Seattle ! One question I have is about the e4od overdrive off switch… did every truck come with that switch? Mine is missing and I don’t even see the wiring for it inside the dash area.

If the truck actually has an E4OD transmission there will a switch on the dash to disable 4th gear.

Why do you think this truck has an E4OD?

What is the Trans code on driver side b-pillar?

Did you seem to have an overdrive trans? After driving 1 minute, let alone 8 hrs, you'd know haha. The trans pan dont lie. Get a look under the truck and look at the trans pan. E4OD says "metric" right on it. If it only shifted 2 times and you didn't feel a converter lock, someone swapped in a C6.
