No sure if this is the right spot for this thread, so mods, move it if it is and let me know.

2000 Exploder SE Automatic 6cyl, 74,015 miles.

O/D light is flashing. Checked the manual, it says to have the tranny checked.

I can't say it goes on in conjunction with a specific event, but the trans has been warm the 5 times it's happened over the past 4 days.

If I turn the truck off, it resets it.

It seems when it goes on, the trans wont downshift, or doesnt want to. Trans computer going bad maybe?

I checked my trans fluid, its good, and level is fine.

Trans has been starting to slip a touch over the past month or so. This is new, and I dont want to drive long distances and worry about something going boom, and leaving me stranded with a puddle of gears under the truck.

Anyone?????
 






your transmission is going into limp mode from what i understand its not good to drive it like that at all...search limp mode
 






A flashing O/D light means that a transmission trouble code or codes have been stored in the PCM. The codes need to be read to give you a starting point.
 






when my o/d light started flashing i had to get the tranny rebuilt in the end...hopefully it wont come to that for you...
