overdrive light flashed then...

[fahkncj]

So I was out playn in the snow yesterday and slid my truck into a ditch, after alot of "gunnin" it i was out but i noticed the overdrive light started flashing. So iam think tranny is toast but i drove it back home the light quit flashing and the tranny seems to be shifting and acting fine. I went out this morning to move it out of the way and it didnt have any issues. So iam looking for a new tranny or did i dodge a bullet? also would i be better off flushing it b4 i drive it again I have no idea how many miles are on the fluid that is in there thnaks

A good possability the trans is ok. Ford programmers did not program " get out of ditch codes " into the computer. Won't hurt to service the trans.

mine started flashing but the transfer case slipped out of two hi into nuetral or between two hi and four hi not nuetral I guess. I'm sure the light flashed cause it read something slipped

I had a loose connector at the tranny and mine blinked till i fixed it

"get out of ditch code" thats funny!!! [I] tell ya i did drop the pan and didnt find any "extra parts" laying in it so i put the pan back on and put 2 gallons of new fluid been running good ever since

I believe it means that the trans is overheating. I had this happen to my plow truck when is was plowing out a state yard not going over 15mph. going back and forth. Noticed it when i pulled out of the yard and the truck would only due 25mph at 2500rpm and not ****. drove it straight to the dealer and the put another trans in it with a bigger trans cooler, thank god it was still under warranty from the last one.
