You'll need to have codes scanned to see just what it is that the TCM
doesn't like..... There are many things that can set the OCS light to
flashing. Without knowing the code, it's only guessing.

I thought you were going to tell him it was the police radar gun seting
it off!

I never read to the "80 mph" part..... If we're real lucky, he'll die in his
sleep at home instead of taking innocents with him.

Good line, though... can I borrow it?

Be my guest. I have an Exploder that's turning 100k this week, and I
might need your expertise soon. Stay warm up there.

I have the same problem on my 99 kind of.

I know I have a Tranny problem , because I am slipping when I go into 2nd
and into 3rd.

Once in a while, my overdrive light keeps flashing, and it makes my truck
feel like I am driving in 1st gear Low.Really crazy, I shut off the truck
turn it back on and it is all ok again for about 200 KM's. The flashing
light is a computer code to tell the mechanic what is wrong with the
vehicle. BRING IT IN! don't wait till it gets worse.!
