    Yeah

    Mine does that too,because of cold conditions. This problem is new after 205000 miles and all started after the TCIL started flashing after a particular heavy tow. Turned truck off after cool down and restarted later TCIL stopped the flashing. Narrowing down everyday. Will post fix just in case anybody ends up with same problem.:stir:
