od light
My overdrive light is blinking. The manual says take it to the dealer, its a problem w/ the tranny. I checked the tranny fluid and its fine. No burnt smell. The truck drives the same as it always has. I know I should take it in. But I would like to try everything I can first so I don't get screwed over by the tranny place. any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi gunfighter19 and welcome to FTE 
The flashing OD light works sort of like the Check Engine light.
When it is flashing it means the trucks PCM has seen something it doesnt like and is telling you that. The problem is probably a sensor such as the VSS but like motox411 said it's time to take it in and get it scanned and see what's up. Usually it's nothing too serious but you dont want to destroy it.
