Yes, your OD light will flash because the ECT doesn't know when to shift into OD.

Does the truck shift into OD?

Kinda weird O/D would flash and yet there are no codes. You may have a speed sensor that's not happy with the cable being broken.

If you're talking about the '86, there's a speed sensor in the instrument cluster and one on the driver side of the tranny. If the OD light is blinking, you have a code. Do you know how to get it?
