I had a problem with my E4OD go out on me last Friday. On Saturday I took off the pan and cleaned it out and replaced the filter. Once I replaced with new fluid, and begain to move it, the truck bucks up and then does not push forward. This at least was better then before when it was not moving at all. Has anyone encountered this before?

is the TCIL (OD LED light switch @ end of stalk) flashing?

"The flashing OD light is an indication of a transmission related trouble code in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). When it has a trouble code related to the transmission it usually commands full line pressure to try to protect the transmission from damage. Normally this is caused by a transmission slip code. Have your computer scanned to see what transmission codes are stored. If it is a torque converter slip code keep in mind it could be stored from converter clutch slippage, or slippage in another transmission clutch pack. .." by Baumann Electronic Controls, LLC becontrols.com

Kills Engine in Drive or Reverse; may be caused by a faulty VSS signal to the PCM. Observe the speedometer gauge or VSS signal on a scan tool. If the VSS display exceeds 90 MPH (may be higher on some models), the computer is programmed to stop pulsing the fuel injection. If this occurs at low speed or while idling, suspect a bad Speedometer Odometer Module.

Removal/Installation (rear diff); ",,,1 bolt holds it. clean around the area first so crap does't fall into your diff housing through the hole. be careful with it, the sensor housing is just plastic, and the magnet inside has wires that run to it. basically once you pull it, you will see it has a little rubber o ring for sealing (and it fits snugly, so if you've never removed it, it might feel like it does not want to come out at first). You can look down into your diff and see that it sits just right on top of a "toner" ring which turns with the carrier. The magnet at the tip is very close to this toothed ring, and the interuption of the magnetic field by the teeth as they pass close to the magnet creates a variable signal, which can be "interpreted" into a speed reference for the computer, tranny, etc..."

I will check the drainback valve when I get back into LA. I have tried moving in 1st and second gear, no luck. Also the OD switch on the shifter is not blinking, although when it broke down on me, I was had taken the OD off while merging into the carpool lane at about 60MPH.

ok, but having OD on or off doesn't affect the DTC function.

Scan it or get it scanned for Codes anyway
