    @Nick_Rego looks like you have the older switch, going bad if your having days where it shifts find then all of sudden shifts terrible. Also make sure your speedo sensor in the top of the motor is good. but the battery light coming on/off screams alternator to me, does the dummy battery...

    91 f350 2wd shifting issues.

    @Nick_Rego Take a picture and post it on here of the trans (driver side ) of your MLPS , if you have the older style they tend to go bad/fail intermittently causing trans to go into limp mode (OD light flashing) , replace it , seems to me as if yours is starting to fail , I included a...

    battery light on,no tach,trans wont shift.

    @Nick_Rego Does the belt squeal when you turn the truck on or off ?

Causing the belt to slip which would be why your battery light is coming on , then...
