What is your question?
I just recently purchased a used 2002 Nissan Frontier SE with 126K miles. My problem is after the truck sits overnight or for an extended period of time, It will not shift into overdrive until I've gone down the highway 6 to 7 miles. After the initial warm up of 6 to 7 miles, it will shift just fine. My RPM is running around 2600 to 2700 at 60mph before shifting into overdrive. After finally shifting into overdrive, it will run around 2300 to 2400 RPM at 60mph. Is this normal for this truck? Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas where to start the fix if need be?

The engine may not be warming up enough to shift to overdrive, due to a failed engine thermostat. If the engine is not fully warm, it probably won't go into overdrive. Have the thermostat checked, it's probably supposed to run the engine at about 192F and if it's failed, the engine probably doesn't get above about 160F unless it's gone about 5 miles..
