Actually, I think it had the OD logo on the shift knob for the 90's Explorers with a stick. But that's the only time I've ever seen it referred to as Overdrive.

Good grief... are half of y'all total car noobs or something?

Read the article....
An "Overdrive" gear is anything with a ratio less than 1:1.... which means the drive shaft will be spinning faster than the engine is.

Don't get these guys confused. A driveshaft between a transmission and rear end, will certainly do what you describe, but in a transaxle setup, the half shafts will not.
