Default R,D,3,2,1 nothing!!!

wife used the truck yesterday driving on the highway when it acted like it was in neutral (she said no noise no nothing) i took the drive shaft off to tow it and checked again putting it in gear, transmission wount move a bit

last time i broke it it started slipping and stuff like that so this is new to me

Yep!
mine did the same thing.. cruising down the interstate at 70.. then all of a sudden its on the rev limiter.. NO gears.
ears on the pump broke for some reason.. i had put about 4k miles on it too.
I was so pissed i held it on the 6800rpm rev limiter for a long time.. It didnt blowup so i got the pump fixed and then that trans broke and i went with the 80E from there.. much much happier with it.
