Would anyone know or has had this issue of there Overdrive off light blinking and placing the transmission in limp mode? Resetting the computer(unplugging the Battery) took care of it for a year or so.I tow a small cargo trailer on occasion but not enough weight to speak of.
That may be just the TC slipping and causing the code. I would find out what code it is throwing before doing anything. Mine started doing the same thing a couple months ago. It was the TC slippage code. I just left it in limp mode after re-setting it a couple times and then it just turned off on its own. I guess after so many cycles without the same trigger it resets itself. I'm sure it will be back on as soon as I get on it. But, since I use it to tow a 5th wheel I bit the bullet and had a BTS trans built. I'm having it put in at Beans on Monday and can't wait. Good luck.

yes it will be a slip code, teh most common by far, just plug teh #9 fuse under teh hood adn that will reset teh PCM.

The ONLY way to know what's wrong is to get the codes read. When the light flashed a code was stored in memory that tells what's wrong. It could be any of about 50 things.

Any way I can get codes read without a Ford dealer? I am also having transmission issues.
Thanks

Thanks Everyone for the help, i will try and read the code on the next time around before re-setting it.
If worst case its time for a new Tranny, is there anyone that comes highly recommended that would be the E4OD "GURU" ? I live in the Boston area. The truck only has around 75K on it so i wouldnt mind having a Bullet proof tranny built for it.Are most of the guys running a Stock torque converter?
