yes, you did it wrong
no, #1 or #2 caused.

run the fault codes to find the reason for the engine light and the transmission light

Its a diesel and its running away so do not try to start till you do the following and yes i know i will be amolished for being a cowboy by the other experts but what you do is to make a gasket for the EGR valve from a coca cola can and seal it off if you dont it may run away and blow itself to pieces .If you do this then it run as normal as the older trucks never had these thing fitted and they all run ok in my day ,exactly whats wron i couldnt tell you without my head under the bonnet but do as i say and it run perfectly

Hey check that O/D is not off, there should be warning light on dash. Small round button on gearstick needs to be pressed to switch overdrive on. Hope this helps

Its on the end of the gas pedal and runs to the ECU .

I have a 1998 Bighorn 3.0L if the wrong grade of oil is used in the motor it miss fires and runs rough, due to the injectors being oil pressure controlled, I have heard of extreme cases causing a failure to start when cold. good luck
