It could be your speed sensor going out, but I think it may just be bad grounds/dirty battery cables. For some reason if the connections get dirty it seems to show in trans first.

I had that same issue about 2 months after I bought my F350 years ago. Intermittent but the same issue.
I replaced the sensor on the rear diff and found a loose wire to the plug. Fixed that and all has been well for 7 yrs now.

The ONLY way to know what's wrong is to get the codes read. When the OD light flashed one or more codes were stored. You need those codes. The places that read codes free can't read Ford transmission codes. Either a good independent shop or a Ford dealer can read them for you.
