Lost in transmissions

Ok so we are now on our 3rd transmission,
vehicle has 235,000 miles on it and 1st transmission just got replaced about a month ago, and everything seemed fine with it, my significant other got the truck stuck twice in one night, i was not in the vehicle so i dont know what all actually was done to get it out but that next morning i didnt make it 10miles down the road and it was like it just fell outta gear. No gears in whatsoever. So once again we swapped another transmission, this time we got lucky n the transmission was just rebuilt by Ford about a month ago. Put it in and it will not go into any gear watsoever. Help

Have you flushed the cooler lines and intercooler ?

What is the line pressure ?

These are the codes that came up when i plugged my scanner into it..... ive never had to flush the intercooler lines before. And i shld also mention the rebuilt transmission we just put came out of a wrecked vehicle and some of the wires on the wiring harness had to be spliced back together. But its doing the same thing the last transmission did i jist figured it got jacked up when he got it stuck twice

it's a must to flush the lines and coolers, plus it's easy with kits sold by the parts houses

Have you confirmed that you have motion on the output shaft of the tranny, maybe you have a transfer case issue..

What DATA do you have on the VSS sensors ?

so true,yet i've had people destroy a fresh rebuilt in days ,esp when stuck in a snow bank not calling for a tow , fact is we don't know the real cause , IMMO 1st thing i'd look for is someone never flushed the cooler.radiator and lines,

Is there a way to check the transfer case ? And is there a way a flush can be done at home without a kit? No ride and no money to get one
