transmission question
The wife has an 03 6.0 Ex. what would cause the truck to "slip" going into second gear and then make the O/D light flash. If you put the truck in Netural and kill it, restart and back to drive it fixes the problem for a day or so....then same ol song and dance. Any ideas (ie. transmission shift position sensor)

Your sig says the truck has an Edge tuner? Can that pull the codes? I,m not familiar with that tuner but figured I'd ask.

When the tow/haul light (there is no OD light on a 6.0L truck) flashes a code is stored in the PCM. It will still be in memory even if the light isn't flashing any more. You need a high end scanner to read Ford transmission codes.

Without the code just start buying parts hoping to find the right one.

Extremely long story short, The edge isn't on there. but even when it was i never read how to pull codes with it.
