this is because a fault has been detected by the ECU and thus set your truck into limp home mode.

the number of flashes before a pause is the diagnosis code.

Same truck and year as mine and mine has been doing it since 2008, speed sensor on the auto or something someone once told me. My auto just locks up ten k's later (90-95) and thats the only side effect I've had. Kinda annoying towing but thats about it.

If you do fix it, would be keen to one day fix mine.
