Hey, i got the infamous OD light flashing on me... And at first the truck was all normal. But now when i stop at a Junction to wait on a car its like the converter stops working. You can push Down the throtlle, and rev the engine. But you won't move before you change it from "drive" to "1" gear. It's similar too when the converter don't have enough ATF in it, so it can't build up pressure...
All startet when i went offroading. Standing still, i put the gear from "D" to "N" and then turned on 4x4 LOW. When i then did put in "D" the light startet flashing on me.
I run 32s, and i have not been driving that much miles with them. Maybe 7k km. The truck has 250k km on it in total.
After the OD light startet flashing, i did a fluid change, with new ATF fluid and filter. In hope it was a sticky solenoid.
This problem startet AFTER i did the fluid change. Changed 5 liter of fluid. Can it be, that i filled on the wrong ATF? Because i did not buy Ford OEM fluid. but something els, that was recomended for Ford.
It's also feels like the converter are "slipping" when you push down the throtlle to get "kick down".
So, do you fellow explorers have any sugestion on this problem?
Kindly regards
John
