On our 2000 Silverado 2500 the blinking can mean a misfiring cylinder or ours also does this from "extended" periods of high RPM operation, like when driving over 70 mph. I feel our truck is especially sensitive to this because the rear end has the 4.1 gear set, I have often wondered if a truck equiped with 3.73 ratio or 3.42 ratio would still do this.
yes
i wouldn't... blinking means its bad, mine came on the other day and i called the dealer to see if it was ok to drive and they told me if its solid drive it in, if its blinking tow it in.

From the owner's manual of the 2005 Ford Escape: "If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately."
The answer is on page 11 in the owner's manual ( "Light is blinking" ). Engine is misfiring, bring it to a garage as soon as possible.
