Flashing OD Light

Tonight on my drive home from the mall I noticed the OD light blinking, I do not remeber noticing it doing it on the way to the mall. I shut the car off and restart it and it goes away until I start driving again ofcourse. Now yesterday I pull starterd an old Dodge Power wagon I have been working on. It didnt seem like I really jerked my truck that hard. I'm guessing I messed something up in doing that. I really dont know. What could possibly happen by kinda lugging on the transmission when pull starting some engine. The transmission use to sometimes kinda slip between 3rd and OD the engine would rev like the clutch was in then it would go in smooth. But it has done that for 2 years. In pulling that truck I was going down hill not like it took that much power.

Something I just thought of I went from a 225 or 235 tire "whatever the door jam says is stock" to a 255 tire. So my speedometer is not accurate anymore I put those tires on about 3,000 miles ago though. With all the trips the computer goes through didnt know if that could be the problem still?

A blinking OD light is like the check engine light. It means there should be a diagnostic trouble code stored that would lead you to the problem. You should take your truck and get it scanned for codes.
