Question Trans Trouble

I Have 97 Crewcab Psd, I'm Getting Trouble Light Flashing On The Od Light Button And The Check Engine Light. If I Rev The Motor The Light Will Go Out For A Few Moments. If I'm Driving The Light Will Go Out If I'm On The Accelerater. I Just Bought This Truck, It Has 218,000 On It.
I Have Changed The Filter And Fluid, No Changes. Any Help???

The OD light flashing means a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is being set into memory. You need to have the codes read to determine where the problem is. Many auto parts places have code readers and will read the codes for free. A dealership will also do it but might charge you a diagnostic fee, about $70-75 from what I've read.
