Transmission problems

All gears are forward besides park. What can I do to fix it or should I just get a used one and replace it?

We might need a better description.

Are you saying reverse goes forward, is neutral forwards too.

Yes. Reverse and neutral go forward as well. Yesterday when I went to the gas station to fill up my O/D light started flashing and it said trans fault on the cluster where it shows the milage. Then this morning I went to reverse and it went forward so I put it in neutral thinking I would roll backwards but it also went forward.

If park still holds the truck, then most likely the forward clutch has welded itself together. It's time to replace or rebuild the transmission.

Thank you for your time and help. I guess I need to remove this one and replace it. How difficult is it to rebuild myself? I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I typically don't mess with transmissions so it'll be a new one for me

If you want to do it yourself, get a manual from www.atsg.com. There are also some tutorial videos on YouTube..
