Yeah, fix it before you go. Your transmission is in limp mode when the OD light is flashing. Long drives and or towing like that will damage the transmission.

^^^^^

X2 on that!!!

"Limp" mode causes your E4OD to operate with high line pressure (Over 200 psi, iirc...) and shifts up rapidly so you can 'limp' home or to a shop.

The high line pressures causes the internals to crack and blow apart... If operated too long...

Replace the FIPL, it takes only a few minutes and a few minutes more to adjust the thing... Your call...

But, don't be like this guy...

Just set the voltasge on the center wire to be between .96 and 1.2 volts and call it good. you simply can't run safely without this tps no matter what you have seen so far. The higher voltage the firmer the shift.
