This truck seems to shift late and in a cruising speed of 45 mph when i step on the gas to pass someone the trans doesn't shift and the engine red lines. also after about 2 miles of driving the O/D light flashes. Also the ABS light flashes sometimes. i am more concerned with the trans. Some one has told me it most likely a solenoid problem in the trans. is there more than 1. it seems to be messing up more in second gear. please help. thanks!

the trans is sending a trouble code through the o/d light and abs light a ford dealer can run a diagnostic check on it there is more than one soleniod

in most trans there is a soleniod pack which has about 8 solenoids that control when and how hard to shift
