I don't trust myself with electrical so I got one at O'rileys. Maybe you can avoid my costly mistake. Sandy

Edit as in changed chalk to chock after you had quoted. It would still have the typo in your quote since that’s how it was originally.

That E4OD is computer controlled. If there is a bad sensor or wire, the computer may not know what gear it is supposed to be in. As has been stated rebuilding the transmission will not fix a possible broken wire in the harness and you will still have the same problem except with a much lighter wallet.

Reverse is purely hydraulic on these trans so if you lost reverse the trans needs to come out and get fixed.

edit: is your truck 4x4? Transfer cases have been known once in a blue moon to fail and allow the truck to only move in one direction (very rare though).
Oh yeah he's got an 8th gen.Doesn't sound good then.No adjustments down on the shift linkage though? How do you line up your shift indicator? Your right though,reverse should be in there somewhere regardless.
