So yesterday the O/D light started blinking on my dash. I did not notice anything out of the ordinary and the truck seemed to shift normal. There is no slippage or hard shifting. I turned the truck off and hit the accelerator twice restarted and drove. The light came back on around 45 MPH when the truck shifted to OD. Stopped again and repeated the same but this time I turned off the OD. I drove the truck another 1-2 miles without issue. While rolling at around 50 I turned the OD back on and drove about 5-6 miles before the light came back on. Not sure what is happening here any suggestions?? Everything seems to be functioning normal even when the light is blinking. It downshifts and upshifts normal while at highway speeds too and under load.
 






Flashing O/D is a signal for a code. Have the codes scanned. A lot of places will pull the code for free.
