Blinking OD Light !!!!

Well the blinking light is back and it won't reset so I guess its tranny time !!!! I live just outside Seattle, Wa. in Redmond. Where is the best place in my area to have this trans rebuilt and how much is it going to cost ????
Things that I have done...
1 Checked the speed senser on the dif.
2 Checked tranny fluid level (Its right on )
3 It is dropping tranny fluid small amount I cant tell where its leaking from
Any suggestions

Depends what your mods are and what you want your truck to do. If it's stock and you plan to keep it that way or only make minor mods and don't abuse your drivetrain, several of us have had good luck with AAMCO (complete rebuild with Ford upgrades and some extras for towing for about $2800).

If your planning on huge upgrades in power and torque and plan to use your new found abilities, then your going to want to get with a serious tranny builder and dial it in with whatever your planning to do to your motor

Skidder, How may miles on the truck/tranny? Did you replace the VSS in the rear diff?

Before you spend 2K$ on a tranny you should try replacing the fluid and filter. You could be overheating or foaming the fluid (old fluid foams). Is it shifting through all the gears?

Have it scanned at a tranny shop. Most will do it for free, they want your biz. They need to drive the truck to do it right. Walk away from anyone that doesn't drive it for the test.
