Weird transmission problem.
Hey guys. I bought late 98 F-250, 5.4 G, 4WD. Only spent $300 to get the truck. Had to replace the steering flange because they messed up the ignition cylinder and flange. Truck didn't run for 4 years. 249K miles, no history available. Got the engine running, no DTCs. D, 3, 2, 1 barely moved the truck forward but, R hauled butt in reverse. Checked transmission fluid it was good and clean. Came back to it a few days later it threw a P0720 (output speed sensor circuit) and I have no reverse, park feels like it wants to move, R is neutral, N is forward, D is forward, 3 is forward, 2 is forward, 1 is forward. The N is full drive. I cleared the P0720 code after it came up and it has not returned. The instrument gauges work but the odometer display is intermittent. What is your guys opinions? Linkage? Fluid? Sensor? Wires?

But this is a very unusual truck. I've never seen a '98 F-Series with D, 3, 2, and 1. That's one more position than Ford built.

It's a Canadian Ford. F-250 non-super 7 lug hubs. When I had the locksmith program the new keys he stated he never seen a 98-99 f250 non super that had the Ford PATS in it. I'll double check the transmission for a model number and the instrument cluster for the gear range. I could be mistaken about 3rd, but I seem to want to recall seeing it when I was working on it late Saturday night.
