This just started....

02 F250 7.3 -4x4 -w/ cold air intake from banks- no programmer- 167k- 3/4 fuel

Turned key over, Yellow check engine light stayed on after starting

I drove down the road a mile or so and truck acted like it was in Neutral at about 50mph so I tapped the accelerator and it violently reengaged into drive.
I get another mile or so and increased speed to 60 and it did it again, this time it was extremely violent when it reengaged.
Turned around and went back home at about 40mph.... didn't seem to do it this time but when I turned into the driveway it died.....I cycled the key and it started and i drove it the last little bit and parked it.

sitting at idle it is erratic... surging from 643-697rpm

Torque Pro shows NO FAULTS

Could I have a fuel pump on the frame under the door going bad or clogged?? Could I have a transmission going out? Maybe this is a whole new issue...

What do yall think?

Overdrive light blinking? Think you got a few issues going on and none pertain to 1 common thing..i never had luck pulling codes with TP. I use Car Gauge Pro for code reading/buzz testing

TP sucks at pulling codes, use Forscan, Forscan Lite or what Timmy suggested.
