Blinking OD light and code P0741

My buddy has a 2002 F350 CC Longbed with a 7.3. Last night the overdrive light started blinking. He said he drove it today and it takes about a mile or so for the light to come on but then it is a steady blinking. Truck has about 254K miles on it. He said other than the blinking light everything seems normal Anybody have any other suggestions at to how to figure out what his issue may be?

I got AE hooked up on his rig.

When I pull (ALL) codes this is what I get:



When I pull (Current) codes I get this:




I tried to clear the code and the light stopped blinking, but he said it started blinking again on the way home.

Take a look at this broadcast message:

2001-2002 Trucks with 4R100 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Codes:
Some trucks build between 1-1-01 to 5-1-02 may exhibit a flashing OD light and possibly harsh shifting, with any or all of the following trouble codes: P0740, P0741, P0743, P1744. This may be due to high resistance in the torque converter clutch solenoid, which results in lower torque converter lock pressures. The transmission solenoid body should be replace with P/N F81Z-7G391-CB to correct. Broadcast Message 3559
