Overdrive Off light

Thanks in advance for any help. I have an 01 F350 and when I come to a stop my off light will begin to flash. Unless i just feather the gas pedal it will bog down real bad and even kill. But once you get over 5-10 mph it goes fine and after about 20-30 seconds of driving the light goes off until the next time you come to a complete stop.

It could be about 50 different things. The torque converter one of the possibilities.

you are correct pretty sure he’s aware of that.. that was more of a suggestion to suspicion...... op try an unplug your batteries for half hour or so. If your batteries died then the light might flush..
