Best case senario is it needs an under valve cover harness for the injector and a speed sensor on the rear end. Worst case the tranny is shot and it need atleast 1 injector and the other may be on their way.
How did the tranny shift thru the gears?
I would offer $3500 and buy it.

Worse case senario you can rebuild all 8 injectors for under $400 from DIY. OD light flashing is easy, speed sensor on the rear axle. Tranny shot, maybe.. Look at $1200 for a basic rebuild. 5k for a performance. I still say buy the truck. Here's why....... I litterally bought a truck just to see if I could fix it. And when I sat down and used my head with everything I learned here, it was easy. And when I was worred that I screwed up, and was over my head....I got on here and asked questions, and the answer came to me almost as quick as everyone here provided them. Buy the truck and together we can get it back in top shape if you stay motivated. BUY IT!

Pretty common to have a slip shift but as long as you didn't have to let up on the go pedal to get it to shift and it shifted thru all the gears not skipping one or two gears then its probably just a wiring or sensor issue.

no we didnt let up off the go pedal it shifted strait through... didnt skip any gears... and the overdrive light flashes when your driving, another guy said the rear wheel speed sensor sounded like it would need changeing, that wouldent cause a slow shift between gears would it?
