Transmission shifting into overdrive

[fredsfords]

I have a 2000 ranger, 3.0 4x4 xlt. Just got it but it seems like it has a very
hard time to shift into overdrive. Even letting of the gas it still doesn't
always shift. Is this normal? or is there a fix for it? Sure hope there is a fix. Thanks

letting off the gas it doesnt shift... take your foot off the floor?

What is your ring and pinion ratio? Tire size? A 3.0l does not have much for low rpm power so gearing toward economy (numerically lower) might be too much for your truck to turn. As a result it holds drive.
