F150 has the 5.4L w/ the auto. 59K on the ticker. This "spuddering" type problem only happens when in overdrive. Mostly highway and when starting to pull up small hills. The symptom is a slight jerking and "spuddering" feeling. It goes away with more rpm's and some acceleration. I've tried injector cleaners and 91 octane just for grins, nothing works. Is this a possible COP issue?
View 14 RepliesI have a 2000 f150, the overdrive light flashes on the swifter, the motor has no power and sputters unless I put it in second gear. It won't shift gears in drive.

View 3 RepliesMy father-in-law has a 01 F 150 4x4 with the 4.6 automatic and his overdrive button will not disengage. Is there a fuse or something on the tranny that he can look at to get it to work?
View 7 Replies2000 5.4 4x4. 104k miles. Extended cab. Heres the issue, when you're at that spot on a slight upgrade and the tranny should down shift out of overdrive it will downshift kinda hard. Sometimes it does this and sometimes it wont. Its driving me nuts. I thought maybe change the fluid and filter and see what happens, but a tranny guy that I don't know from the other guy said dont waste your money its more than likely a broken spring behind a piston. I put a new motor in this truck about 10k ago so I can wrench. It did this before the motor swap too.
View 10 RepliesIt started sputtering at random times a few days ago and the check engine light came on. The two codes are p0401 (blocked egr system) and p0402 (egr valve stuck open). It seems to do it most when it's cold but some days it'll do it non stop.

176k miles & original engine/transmission.
What does this mean?
My overdrive light is blinking off and on. When I accelerate normally, the truck starts stumbling? (don't know a better word) some, sort of like a clogged air filter or fuel filter. I am going to take it to a transmission shop because its a little beyond me, but don't want to get ripped off.
View 10 RepliesI got a 1999 f150 if you put shifter in gear the overdrive light comes on. When you put it back in park the light goes out.
View 1 RepliesSo I drive a 19 97 F150 v8 5.4 4x4 and while on the freeway I noticed that my overdrive button was blinking on the shift lever. The truck wasn't driving any different than usual, so Im just trying to figure out what this means.
View 1 RepliesMy 2002 f150 blows the overdrive fuse (#29) every time the overdrive tries to engage. Could it be the overdrive switch? Where is that switch? Could it be a speed sensor? Truck has an automatic transmission and a 5.4 engine.
View 14 RepliesI have a 97 f150 2wd 4.2. my speedo is working on and off, my overdrive button is flashing and its shifting terrible. I changed the vss in the top of the rear diff but no luck... is there another sensor I should change? or go back and start looking at the wiring to the on in the diff. she has 353k on her and was running great till this.
View 6 RepliesI'll start with truck specifics. 2001 Ford Expedition, 5.4, automatic, 141,000. We just got the truck 4 months ago, second owners. Seemed reasonably maintained, other than Ball joints.
This afternoon, my wife and I were cruising along on this warm 90 degree summer day, out running some errands and having a good time ( we both had today off) about 70 miles from home. When we pulled into one of our spots, I noticed a few drips heading in the direction of under the truck. i simply thought the AC, which had been running full blast for an hour, was dripping, not a huge deal. didnt think twice, a few drops, no biggie. We ran a few other errands, then got back on the highway going 70 MPH. I heard a low moan at 70 that would come anbd go, I thought I may have had a tire howling on the road or possibly the start of the shifted belt. Noise was intermittent, but went away after a few minutes of driving. another mile or two down the road, I noticed the rear window seemed oily. Suddenly, things began to click, oil blow on the back window, funny noises, drips, something was leaking.
My eyes darted to the gauges, everything was holding up as i made it to the nearest exit another few miles away. As I hit the exit, i noticed the overdrive on off indicator flashing at me on the shifter stalk. I roll to the stoplight at the end of the ramp, suddenly, the tranny slips. There was no slipping on the highway. the truck did get a grip and get me from the light a few hundred feet ( there was a line of traffic behind me) to a parking lot where I could stop and inspect. as i shut it off and peeked under, fluid was pouring out of the bellhousing of the transmission. i called pops, he brought down the truck and trailer and we winched it on, dragged it home.
So, now the truck in in my garage, on the lift (yes, im spoiled) and I'm surveying the damage. oil leaks seem to be directed only from the bellhousing area, other places only have blow by residue on them. Fluid is a little dark, but not burnt smelling, and within tolerance. I see darker fluid at work when I do transmission flushes all the time.
So, now the questions. First off, I would be guessing that the front pump seal decided to go out, does that sound correct to you gentlemen? I'm going to start digging in on removing the transmission tomorrow, and hopefully get it out by the weekend. Also, from the fluid condition, do you think I got lucky, or do you think I did damage to the transmission?
As for knowledge and resources, I'm a mechanic, I do mostly brake, suspension, exhaust, and maintenance work (oil changes, tranny flushes, other stuff like that) so I do have a decent knowledge base, and while I have swapped transmissions before, I dont have a huge knowledge of tier inner workings. I do have access to a scan tool, and other diagnostic instruments, but as i stated before, not a full working knowledge.
2003 F150, 5.4 FX4, overdrive light flashes. Took to a shop they said overheating issue, but I don't understand if it is a overheating issue why does I flash at 4 in the morning when I leave for work fter sitting all night and why does it stop when I do over 70 on the highway.
View 4 RepliesI have a 2001 f-150 looking for answers to my problem automatic transmission my overdrive fuse keeps blowing. My third and and overdrive don't work. It shifts 1st to second but that is it. No other fuses are blowing.
View 3 RepliesI have a 98 f150 4.6 v8. when i start driving and i hit about 40 my truck doesn't want to shift, i have to take my foot off the gas, let it shift then apply the gas again. if i don't it shifts real hard or the RPM's go real high. and then every so often my overdrive off light blinks. it shifts in and out of overdrive ok though.
View 2 RepliesSo here's the deal: My 2000 F250 has began to have the overdrive light blink when I am traveling at low speeds <40mph and it is accompanied by strange shifting (lower gear for a longer period of time). As soon as I get up to highway speeds the blinking stops and goes back to normal operation. But as soon as I go back to low speeds it happens again. When I put the truck in to park when it has the light blinking it revs it self to about 1200rpms then goes back to normal idle. This truck has 228k miles and is on the original transmission.
View 5 Replies Auto trans. The Overdrive light flashes on the Selector lever. Never stops.I put tape over it because it is annoying. Especially at night. It goes into overdrive no problem.
A Couple of times it did not flash and was stuck in first till I manually shifted. Then the light started flashing again and works normal. What now......RPM Sensor?

I have a 2000 f250 with the 7.3 and 181,000 miles on it, recently got stuck in the snow (in 2wd because i forgot to lock the hubs) and the rear wheels did alot of spinning. Now i randomly have the OD light start to blink, sometimes its a half a blink, sometimes it'll stay on for a few seconds, itll do it randomly while crusing down the road at a constant speed, also noticed my rpms fluctuate a tad at idle.
View 4 RepliesHere is my issue. I have a 2000 e350 7.3 the overdrive light is flashing, the speedometer and the odometer isnt working it also shifts hard, i changed the vss, the vss plug, range sensor, and alternator. still acting up. also all the fuses are good.
