Thanks much David! You've given me a direction to start! Also, I'm assuming
this poses no immediate danger to the OD.

There are several reasons that it would do this
1 The kick down switch is either not connected or it is miss adjusted.
2 The relay is not working and the overdrive is working thru the kick down
switch
3 The overdrive is wired directly with out the relay or kickdown

Which makes me wonder what my problem is? My BJ8 comes out of OD pretty much
when you hit the switch, and without depressing the throttle.

It sounds like his OD is working correctly. It should always be in OD
as long as the switch is on. It will stay in OD when the switch is
turned off until you accelerate beyond 1/5 throttle or approx 1" of
pedal movement then it will kick out of OD
