You might want to take your truck to another shop, when the od light is flashing, that's telling you there is some thing wrong with a sensor from your transmission, needs to be checked right or could cause major damage to your transmission, at the same time they can check the service engine light, that would be an engine sensor not putting out a good signal and the computer pick it up, if both light's are off now wait till one or both come on there won't be ant code's stored, hope this was very helpful.

My oil light keeps flashing and buzzing

It sounds like the oil pump stopped pumping.. that's unfortunate. Because if it did. And you took it to a shop. 9 times out of 10... they will want to rebuild the motor. And I'm sorry to say.. but the best thing to do is to get out from under that car.. because everything is TREMENDOUSLY expensive to repair.

Orange waring light on dashboard is on . The

If the light was flashing when it came on, then it means your engine is misfiring.

A solid light can mean anything from a loose/faulty gas cap to a transmission issue.

This light comes on when the computer detects a fault of some sort in its diagnostic tests. If it keeps detecting this issue, the light will remain on. If the light turns off, then it has detected that the issue may no longer be present.

In order to find out what the exact reason was for your light, You need to have your car computer scanned to retrieve the code that the computer would have stored when the light triggered. Most garages will do this free of charge. The code will tell you what may have caused the light to initially turn on.

Blue smoke but no lights on the problem

blue smoke on startup is generally from worn valve guides or bad stem seals on same (not really terrible as long as it stays the same) It will run rough for a minute 'till the oil in the cylinders is cleared out. Service engine light is pretty much on its own timer and does not mean anything but it's there to annoy you into going to the dealer. If O2 sensor was bad, it would eventually put the red check engine light on.

Light on dash states service engine soon

There is something wrong, they may not have had the correct equipment for your car. Even if they had the right scanner and it said nothing....means there is something wrong if the light is on. The computer doesn't put that light on for fun. I would try somewhere else, a lot of auto parts stores will check it for free.
