Your VSS (Vehicle speed sensor) might be out and the transmission isn't shifting right and your engine might be running rich or lean as a result therefore also sending out a O2 sensor fault codes. Deosnt mean your O2's are bad.

Sounds like Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, throttle body needs to be cleaned, or it could be a internal transmission failure causing just the 1 gear to lockup. No one can really help you unless you post your truck specifications.

That means internal transmission failure. I would say you clutch plates are worn. It will probably need to b rebuilt in the near feature.

If the clutch plates on the torque convertor are shot, it will cause a misfire like feeling. Check IAC and IAC connector first.

Yea, but I would definitely check everything over. Something caused that trans to fail whether it be clogged lines, bad trans cooler (if you own a 4x4) or you been going 70 and dropping it in 2nd.

If that OD light is flashing, you have a code stored in the OBD II system. It may not show to these android based readers everyone has been using, but a real scanner can read ford codes that the tranny produces. The OD flashing is the Check Engine Light of the truck.
