Tranny issues
I swear my truck has a personality awhile back i hit a rock and smashed in my oil pan and tranny pan the tranny pan took the most damage so i replaced it with a deep pan (so i can hit rocks easier
) but any way apparently the pan did not have enough support to hold the filter in and it fell out causing me to loose trans pressure going to work so i put a new filter in thinking that would fix my problem put it did not work. and yes i did put fluid back in so i let the truck sit for a couple days and on sunday it decided it wanted to work but my OD light flashes at me while i am in park i was just wandering if the old girl is trying to tell me something or i have electrical gremlins

Was the new filter for a 4x4 transmission? If not, it's going to fall out, too.
The flashing OD light means a code was stored in the PCM's memory. You need to have that code to start diagnosing what's wrong. The places that read codes free can't read Ford transmission codes.

Don't know what the filter was for but it looked exactly like the old one i just picked it up at napa and the truck is 4x4 when i put the filter back in i low strength lock-tited around the o-ring and neck on the filter to help hold it in. I also forgot to mention that the od light only flashes in park not while in gear.

Went with a deeper pan because it was only a little bit more than a stock pan and looked a little heavier built than then the stocker, what kind of scanner does it take to read a none OBD 2 1995 i live in a pretty secluded part of the world and the nearest large town is around sixty miles away

My guess for the filter falling out is the old filter's gasket stayed in the hole of the trans where you mount it and when you try to put the new filter in it will not go in all the way because the old gasket is in the way. Don't ask me how I know.
