overdrive issue

I have a 2001 F250 Super Duty Off Road with an automatic. It has the overdrive disengage button on the end of the shift lever. When I shifted into gear this morning, the "off" indicator light on the end of the shift lever started to blink, and the truck will barely move forward in the "drive' mode. Reverse, first and second work fine. Turned engine off and on. Does not reset. Any ideas as to what is wrong?

No, I don't know. But I do know there is a code stored in the PCM that will tell us where to start. You'll have to pay someone to get the code, the places that read codes free can't read Ford transmission codes.

Thanks Mark. I'm not all that mechanical. What is a PCM?

Powertrain Control Module. The computer that runs the engine and transmission.
