Boy, do I feel for you...I hate to say it, but as a GM mechanic for thirty-five years, I can promise you that this 4L60E transmission is dead. Unfortunately, 4L60E's are relatively weak in stock configuration. I have repaired this exact problem many times. Here's what you do:
When you get the transmission rebuilt, tell the builder that you want, as a minimum over a stock rebuild, the following parts installled...you want a hardened input shaft, The Beast sun gear reaction shell, the 29-element Borg-Warner input sprag, the Alto master rebuild kit with all molded rubber pistons, all Alto Red Eagle frictions and full-thickness Kolene steels throughout (including in the low/reverse clutch pack--reverse is a weak spot for 4L60E's), 13-vane pump kit, the Sonnax .490" boost valve, a new reverse drum and an extra-wide (2 5/8") carbon fiber power band, a Sonnax cast-aluminum pinless forward accumulator piston, the Sonnax heavy-duty 2-3 shift valve, Sonnax "Super Hold" 1-2 and 3-4 servos, the Transgo valve body separator plate, and a 15,000lb-capacity auxilliary transmission fluid cooler, installed in series in addition to the transmission fluid cooler core built in to the radiator. This build will cost you about 600-800 bucks over a stock rebuild, but your transmission will shift firm, crisp, and reliably every time. You will think you have added about 100 horsepower to your engine without having even touched it. This transmission will tow anything you hook to it, will yank any Ford, Toyota Tundra or Nissan Titan all over the parking lot and burn up their transmission, and it will still be going strong when you sell the truck someday. GM trucks are awesome with the proper build on the transmission. I have three built this way, and tow a thirty-three foot camper and a 10,000lb car-hauler with all of them.

99 ford f150 o/d light flashing p1740 code but truck drives fine

I believe it's a transmission overdrive clutch not engaging. Likely it accelerates and up shifts fine except for the last shift into overdrive.

So the mileage may be be lower than usual on longer trips.

Shift but won't go into gear just revs
https://www.transmissionrepaircostguide.com/topic/shift-but-wont-go-into-gear-just-revs/

I have had vehicles where the speed sensor, MAF, MAP and throttle body did not let them shift as they should but the vehicle did shift. I have put several links above. Just to make sure if you have check engine light find out the code. Make sure you check transmission fluid with engine on and in park, emergency brake on at normal operating temperature. ( May sound bad but I have had to tell people above 30 about this and they said it was the first they heard of it). I will say the thing which stands out to me is check shifter cable. Check fuses. I did see a link which suggested brakes locked up but I assume the truck is not even trying to move.

My 99 denali quit shifting into overdrive. Everything still seems pluged in. Any suggestions?

For car not changing gears it can be shifter assembly issue, or it can also be transmission issue. Get the shifter assembly inspected with ignition OFF.

For more troubleshooting, I suggest you to get the Following help link checked, its complete step by step procedure to inspect gear shift issues: -----

Yukon denaly 2005 will not shift into 2nd gear. RPM's goes up. Message says transmission hot

Check your fluid level. The Transmission Control Solenoid may be failing or the transmission filter could be clogged.
