SOMETIMES, the OD light will start flashing. Once it starts, it doesn't stop until I shut the truck off and restart it later.

It has gotten much worse since I posted on Saturday. It now does it EVERY time it hits that 35 to 45 mph mark and sometimes even at 50 mph. The behavior made me think shift solenoid, but now I'm not so sure. I took off from work this evening and started out in shift position 1. I held it in 1st gear all the way up to 45 mph and the tach didn't reach 4000 rpm like it does when it screws up, so what is it REALLY doing? I'm about ready to light a match to this thing and buy a Chevy...
