If your truck has already shifted into 4th at 30mph( and it could, mine will) and you flip the switch, then yes it will bog.

Are you sure it is in second when you turn it on and not already in 3rd or 4th, but the rpms are high because of normal converter slippage?

So it needs to be in second before i flip the switch and then it will load up and shift threw all the gears bc right now it dont matter how fast you are going it wil put it in overdrive at 10mph or 50mph it will shift to the top gear as soon as you flip the switch.

It does not work that way when connected correctly. I don't even know if that's physically possible to force a 4th gear shift from 1st at 10mph.

Unless your going fast enough, when your throw the switch, it'll bog down and make it seem like it just skipped all the gears. I know on mine, at 2200 RPMs after it shifts into 2nd (~25mph) is the sweet spot, anything under and it bogs down, anything over then it's too late and seems like it's already in OD
