91 F150 4.9 automatic trans problem

I am looking at this truck and wondering what all to start looking at on the automatic transmission.I am old school and not sure to begin on one of there.I can rebuild the older C6's and did a few years ago on my old 73 f100 but we didnt have all the sensors and stuff back then.Now to the problem.This 91 F150 4.9 shifts ok and works in reverse.You put it in drive and it goes into low and you can drive it but it never shifts out of low.Fluid is a little dark but not quite burnt.Give me a few ideas.
