29tons, and this refers to a tractor trailer, a canal boat? This wear groove HH56 well describes can be remedied with industrial grade epoxy, Ace Hardware. etc., built up to the original contour, allowed to fully cure.

Meanwhile, double check all overdrive wires for secure connections, good ground, and if your car hasn't a replacement wiring harness, frayed wires. Most OD maladies are electrical. While so focused, tho' not your problem, check your transmission and overdrive fluid levels separately, and if needed, top off separately.

Some of us leave our OD knob pushed in all the time, as the small amount of city driving out of mountainous terrain exacts but little additional brake wear, and makes shifting at low speeds even easier. Obviously, descending long mountain roads, you'll want to pull out your OD knob, disengage, to have engine braking. You do get engine braking in OD in flat realms at cruising speed, but not as much since your overall gear ratio is numerically lower; taller.
