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

any ideas what it might be?

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.
