you need to check the atf level and condition and top up/change if needed.if its still like it after that then theres a number of things.Try dis-connecting the batteries for a while to reset the ecu.
Does the truck go into O.D ok if not then i would say the ecu has probably had it or even the torque converter may of started to fail

thanks had the oil done and the truck look at all pugs off the box cleand and put back and no luck , sum time.it works and sum time it plays up , how could you check if the torque conveter is on its way out ,but wen in low it takes off like a rockett help help

Is there anyone around you with a 3.0l you can test their ecu in yours as i think that may be the problem.I don't think there is anyway of actually testing the t/converter
I know its a bit late but if you still want the sensors i am going to be sorting them this week.They were all working ok when i had the truck running

sounds similar to my problem, except i had no o/d light flashing, my solution was gearbox and torque converter from stormy, and now i am having fun in the snow... :P
