    As if I haven't had enough expensive problems lately, I've now lost OD. just slipped out going down the highway with no warning. Have a little jolt/slipping feeling and jumped from the normal 1400ish rpms to 2200ish.

    I can press the button to take it out of OD and of course nothing happens. Press it again to put it back in and it goes in. As soon as I even slightly touch the gas though it gives the same jolt/slip and is right back out of OD.

    Didn't have any problems downshifting through the gears when I was getting off the highway. I'll find out if it goes through the gears alright here in a bit.

    I'm swinging by a transmission shop tomorrow but in the meantime I'd like to hear some ideas. Please and thanks :waytogo:

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    ^^^ I thought low on Trans Fluid too before I even opened the thread. I'd start there since its the easiest to correct. Then solenoid. Then prayers... good luck.

    Fluid was good. And Just to make things more interesting/confusing OD worked just fine when I was going home last night as well as on my way to work this morning.

    Transmission shop gave me the usual "you'll have to let us look at it for $97/hr" but they did mention that f150s are notorious for the od button on the column going out intermittently.
