The O/D lockout is there to let You disable 5th if the trans is hunting back and forth from 4th and 5th. Shifting creates a lot of wear and heat.
The lockout is on the '03 and newer trucks. When I have a hunting problem with my '02 I try shifting out of T/H to see if it helps. I also shift out to force an upshift at around 60 or so, after the upshift I engege T/H again.
