one of my friends had a '95 F150 with the 5.0L and had numerous transmission problems- had to be rebuilt a couple of times.. the O/D light would flash and it would start off in 2nd gear sometimes..I'm pretty sure you can run a scanner on it to figure out the CEL, not sure about the green stuff or the airbag sequence (bob would know that one) Good luck man
