Exclamation Engine Light

Hey guys I'm driving my dad's truck for the month. Its a 95' F150 with a 5.0 Engine w/333k on the clock. Every once in a while the Check Engine lights turn on when I'm on the highway. All the guages show a normal rating. I have had the PCM flashed aready and returns no error codes as it just flashes or stays on for a few minutes...by the time its serviced at the dealership the light turns off. It also comes with hard shifts...not a good hard but an uneeded shift down then up .5krpm later...any help with this issue it really appreciated...I already miss my 04SCABFX4!!

It could be a poor vacuum line connection somewhere. There should be a stored code, though. Go to fordfuelinjection.com to find out how to read the codes yourself and tell us what you come up with.

I hope someone comes up with a solution because my '93 5.0 with 311,000 miles does the same thing. I have checked for codes several times but none are stored. Batteriesnotincl and I could both use some insight.
