E4OD troubles

was pulling a empty car tailer home last night and my tranny started to slip in the top of third gear and all the way through od. It felt just like a standard tranny vehicle with a sliping clutch. my questin is how do I know weather it is the tranny sliping of the torque converter?

OD light flashing? Codes? Mileage? Fluid level? Doesn't sound good.

The E4 can only set a fault slip code while in OD.
You can have a slip in lower gears and no fault code.
The 4R can fault code in lower gears due to it has the input shaft sensor.

I was talking to a GOOD FORD mechanic yesterday about my prob and he said that if the TC is slipping, you won't hear it.
Since I can hear mine howling when it slips he said it will be the trany. Hope this helps
