Default OD LIGHT FLASHING

I just purchased a 98 explorer xlt for my son. it has high miles bu seems
to run good. I had to replace the alternator as soon as i got it and now
th OD light is flashing. This happened just prior to me replacing the
alternator last week. Is anyone else having troubles with this vehicle?
Could this be a sign for bigger problems ie: transmission? any input would
be helpful.

Default OD LIGHT FLASHING

The O/D flashing is an indication of transmission trouble of some sort.
Could be minor, or could be major - no way to tell without at least pulling
the codes.

Is that the only symptom, or is it shifting poorly, too? If it's
shifting poorly, it could be this:
