Tranny Question

It is almost certainly NOT the torque converter. I have never seen a converter fail where the truck won't move at all. Most likely a shaft broke or the splines stripped. Whatever it is, it is inside the transmission.

It cannot be ANY sensor. There is nothing electrical that can do this. Something mechanical broke.
