Hey,
I am new to this site and I have a 97 Ford Explorer. I bought it in 07 and it was nice until like 2 years ago when it started to give me doubts. It never died on me,yet, but everyday when I first start it for the day, if I put it in gear right away, it will stay idle for a while and then kick into gear and just jump. I would drive but it keeps kicking off and on until it is warmed up, I guess because it goes away. Oh and also the OD light would come on also. I just need to know if anyone out there could elaborate on that and hook me up. I love my truck, and I need my truck.

Thank you very much

Your truck may be suffering from lack of maintenance..

Check the colour and level of the fluid.... the flashing OD light is informing you that the transmission has issues and is in limp mode.... Philip

 

Hey,

Thank you so much for responding, so what is the best and most cheapest way to take care of this? Or is there a cheaper way? Either way, please let me know what to do, my car is paid off and I would like to keep it.

Thanks,
Deimen

 

Time for a trans.

 

Change the fluid and filter first, it may be starving for fluid when cold... Philip

 

Where can I get one that is cheaper, let me know.

Thanks
Deimen

 

Hey,
