I had joined once before awhile back, it had been so long since I was active that I had to just re-register.
I still have my 99 Ranger XLT 4x4 - had the tranny rebuilt...oh, probably a year ago. I've moved to Tennessee now. And here over the last couple of days, spontaneously, while driving the "O/D Off" Sensor light will start flashing, If I am stopped when it's flashing the engine will rev as I hit the gas, but the truck will only inch slowly (unless I was already going at a high speed when it started - then it doesn't do anything). I know that can't be good.
There isn't a pattern to when it does it, but it doesn't stop flashing unless I've turned the truck off and it's sat off for a while. It doesn't do that every time I drive, but it's done it probably a good 6 or 7 times since Saturday (today is Thurs). In a normal run, if I were to turn off O/D the sensor would stay lit solid, not flash... so I'm trying to figure out what the truck is trying to tell me by flashing that O/D Off sensor.
When I bought the truck used it did not have an owner's manual. I have a Haynes manual from Autozone, but I'm having a hard time finding much info in there. Anybody have any ideas? Has that ever happened to ya'll? ?
Thanks, it's nice to be back!!
