BOTH times the O/D started flashing after I was done and put it back to normal. So if you've been pressing that button trying to get it to stop flashing like I did and if you truck is anything like mine it wont help. I just cut the engine off and it eventually stopped. My personal experience is that when that button is pressed and engages whatever it does in the tranny it triggers the screw up. I have not messed with the O/D over a year now, transmission is still good. Yes I should get it looked at, but its fine now. I will if it acts up again.
If you manually shut overdrive off with the button, and then your O/D Off light starts flashing, something may be wrong with your Torque Converter's lockup function.
