Default to change tranny fluid or not?

i have the e4od tranny and the overdrive is not engaing. on the highway it usually runs 65 at about 2200 rpm and is now almost 2500 rpm. i have not changed the tranny oil before in this truck wondering if it will cause more trouble. or adding a tranny cooler would help.

If the overdrive is not engaging - it is more than the fluid. Of course they will change it when they analyze the problem but there is more wrong with the transmission. Let's hope it might just need a sensor replacement.

Well since it happened when you hit a bump I'd bet it's somthing simple like a wire coming unplugged off the tranny or somthing like that. Does that have the button on the end of the shifter for the OD ? I've seen those go bad on newer trucks
