A little about my rig, It is a 2000 Model. XLT, Automatic, V8 and AWD. It has 163k miles on it.
The issue is, Whenever accelerating it sounds like something is grinding / slipping almost. It stops after about 30mph... And it only does it when accelerating. It's hard to describe.. Like a popping noise? Does it while straight, turned, forwards or backwards. I got up under it and the front drive shaft doesn't appear to have any play in it, And doesn't sound like CV joints.
My other issue is, My O/D Off light is blinking. It seems to have a little trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd, but not bad.. And it only seems to do that when the O/D Off light flashes... if the light is off, it shifts perfect... And even when on the highway (With the light flashing) I can turn the O/D on and off. Rides at around 2400-2500rpm at 70MPH.
The CEL is on, and the code was for an "Output speed sensor" I purchased it, but have yet to replace it (too cold windy, and now snowing!) would this cause the O/D Off light to flash? And it starts after a while of driving, not instantly.
Also, would corroded battery terminals cause this? The battery gauge reads normal, and theres no flickering or anything, and the battery is charging like it should.
