Does your truck still do this??

I would pull the OD switch itself and see if the wires are broken, chaffed etc. I have seen others that suffer from these problems and it is the OD override button wires themselves and not internal in the tranny.

I lived in Dallas until moving to North Texas this year. I had the same problem back in the spring of 01 when we had all the rainy weather.

Go back to the messages on #2638 for some more info about the problem.
If your truck is still under warranty I suggest that Ford Country of Lewisville would be the place to go as they finally figured out my problem.

Good Luck with yours.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Oct-02 AT 08:46 AM (EST)]Hello Folk's,

I recently experianced the OD light blinking on and off while pulling my 27' toy hauler up the I-5 grape vine. I fueled up shortly after and turned off the truck to see if it would clear, and it did. Hasn't happend again since. This occured last week.

True Blue 02' F-350 PSD, CC, LB, SRW, currently stock with straight exhaughst, 12K miles.

Look up at the address bar.
See the last 4 numbers before .html?
Erase those and put in 2638. (Erase anything after .html too.) Then hit go. It'll take you to that thread!

One guy saw his OD light flashing, but he was just having a stroke, so no problem.
