o/d light flashing

[eric99f250]

ok well my trucks been acting funny lately the overdrive lights starts flashing when i come to a stop. and it only does it when i come to a complete stop... when i pull off from a stop it acts like it doesnt want to shift the after a couple seconds it kicks in and goes. then the light goes off about 10 seconds later. some times it doesnt some times it does it idk...its mindbottling

but yeah if anyone can help me out itd be great

I'm gonna assume you checked the fluid level.

Myself, I don't know... but the last time my O/D light was blinking, I was shortly putting a new trans in it...

The guy who did the rebuild said there were trans trouble codes set, ones that my buddy's computer could not read, even though it reads my other trouble codes. My point is, if the light blinking, it's the transmission's way of telling you something is wrong. A good trans tech should be able to check them for you, and steer you in the right direction. But, most likely, you're gonna need a trans soon. Welcome to the weak link in the PSD world!!!

Well then the trucks goin back to the damn dealer im not paying for a new transmission....he can shove it up his a$$ and give me my money back

yup go get your codes pulled. could be a sensor or could be something else. you fluid smell burnt or different in color.

Hope you have some $$$ set aside for a rebuild.

Well i checked the fluid its a little low im gonna put some more in tomorrow...and the fluid looks really clean doesnt smell my gf's father said it could be the solenoid sticking i mean it just started doing it when the weather got a little colder.. ive had the truck since september n it just started to do it now... man i really hope its just the fluid or solenoid sticking....i was gonna use the extra money to get my 99 running great again for my gf.....if i didnt have bad luck wouldnt have any at all

Usually when the light starts blinking you will be in the market for a tranny shortly..

It could be just a sensor or it could of been like my problem and pure destruction.

Had the same problem with my old 2001 F350, had a solinoid replace helped for a little while. A couple weeks later the tranny went altogther, clutch drum and clutches were toast......$2,200 later it was back up and running!
