Yeah if you had the e4od it would probably be blinking the od off light at you as well. The tone ring is either unplugged or gone bad or the wiring has gone bad or broken somewhere.

Just a hint: On a diesel check the coolant "DCA" level. DCA is a chemical you add to the coolant. It's purpose is to counteract the acidic levels in the coolant that a diesel engine creates. If the DCA levels fall too low "electralisis" takes place on the water side of the cylinders and "rots" it away. I believe you can get the test stips an additive at any NAPA store or if all else fails any International truck dealership will have it.

I'm not running the Evans coolant, but I have read on here that coolant additive is not required with it, and that it doesn't ever need changing.
