just test driving my boss' '99 explorer, has had recent tranny flush /tune, but on the highway it wont go into overdrive and the od off light keeps flashing. drove it about 10min on highway then parked. sounded like bubbleling and fizzling under truck and i smell hot tranny fluid, but i dont see any leaks, and the tranny fluid is still nice and clean, has anyone had this happen- is it catastrophic?, i can buy the truck cheap( its in near mint condition otherwise) but this problem scares me- can anyone give me some feedback.

It depends on the trans that's in the Explorer. It could be anything from a bad gasket in the valve body to a bad torque converter. If the light has been flashing it should have a code set in the PCM. You might plan on a reman trans added to the initial cost. Would it still be a good buy?
