Angry I'm So Frustrated!!!

Okay so heres the deal. I just put in a new tranny with billet t/c, new trans cooler/ flushed lines/ and exhuast downpipe and intake. I took the truck for a drive today and after 45 miles no problems. It seemed to rev a little high before shifting but ever since I've had it the tranny was bad so I don't know what it shifts like normally. I got a new windshield put in and started the trek back home and the dreaded O/D light starts flashing. I am pulling my hair out. Thousands oF $$$$ on the truck and it never seems to go right. I have not pulled codes or had them pulled. What to do?????????

Did you do the work or did you have somebody do it (paid them)? If you paid for it, I'd take it back. Cheers!

I just changed the Speed Sensor on mine, it was doing the same thing. $27.50 and 15 minutes.

Could that be why my speedometer is acting funny but getting better?

O/D light should not be flashing if the tranny is just relearning shift patterns. It would be beneficial to you to have it scanned and find out exactly why the light is on. If it is just the solenoid pack it would be much cheaper to just replace that and not replace the whole tranny again because you let it go.
