Default Diesel problems

hey was wondering if you could help me out, my 89 f350 7.3 Idi has a blinking o/d light flashing constantly when driven but not at idle. When I drive it gets stuck in gears but eventually finds gear. It only does it when u start accelerating. When I take the fuse out and drive it shifts fine. Not sure what could be the cause

Help, if you can, got a 1991 F350 w/7.3 IDI 315,000 miles on it been running great no problems until the last 6 months, been loosing antifreeze. Think it's got a cavitation problem according to what I've been reading. Been raining hard the last few days, started the truck ran 20 seconds, really rough, made a loud bang and that's it, seems to be locked up. Pulled the air cleaner some water in the intake, Pulled the glow plugs and still won't turn over any ideas where to go from here? Thanks, JIM
