I am trying to get exactly what your problem (truck related) is, and what you were giving myself, and others was not enough to get any good information back to you.

THanks!
I've been talking to people on here for days and everyone on here has a different thought, it's as simple as it sounds and I'm confused my self on what it could be that's why iv posted three links about it on here and posted on peoples links talking about this problem. And the reason I posed f*** was because right now I don't feel like replacing my trucks tranny considering its only got 136000 miles and the ts chip has been on it for a week.

Flashing OD light means there is a tranny or speed sensor issue... Like I said before, might try removing the VSS (Vehical Speed Sensor) on top of the rear axle. Clean it and reinstall. See if that helps the issue. If not you need to get a scanner (not the cheapo ones from autozone but one that will read ford specific codes) and see what the codes are. Could be a valve body issue.

I toasted my first tranny in my first OBS at about 60k, then in my 97 at 120k, and this truck ate trannys for the first 100k, I think I had 6 in that time!

Ok well I,m going to rebuild it with all billet parts if this tranny is bad so it can hold hp, not to much for what I want but just so I don't have to worry about it, what do you suggest?

You dont need billet crap... Get a good 3 disk TC, a good rebuild kit and thats it.

Unless you have experance with trannys I would not build it yourself.
