Tranny Gone Nuts!!! HELP!!
I have a 2000 Excursion V-10 Auto, 110xxx mi.. I am having this all of the sudden problem. I was driving home from in town and it felt like someone had thier foot on my brakes!! Got home and checked the brakes and they were perfectly fine. I tried to back out of the driveway to do a test drive and there was NO reverse!!!! I backed my F-150 up to it and put the Excursion in nuetral and tried to pull it with my tow chain to no avail!! It just will NOT move at all in reverse dirrection!! Everything underneath appears to be outwardly fine. I hope someone has heard of this CRAZINESS...

A MAF or MAP is usually located somewhere along the intake air assembly.
I would say look on top or near the air inlet(cover for air filter) or the tube leading up to the intake manifold(Throttle body)
good luck!

What am I not reading right here? You have a vehicle that will not move, when left in neutral, and another vehicle is trying to pull it, and you are looking under the hood for the problem? Kill the ignition, and leave it in any gear other than park, and it should roll if the drivetrain is sound.
Have you jacked up the truck to see which of the wheels is not spinning, or whether or not any of them rotate at all? This will isolate the problem down to the front or rear, and then you can isolate the problem to a specific wheel, or portion of the drivetrain, to identify the bearing that is locking up.

OK. Jacked up the rear and put it in drive. Both wheels are fine. In reverse with the engine running i can hear the drop in idle and the sound of engagement but the wheels will not spin unles i spin them by hand (they spin opposite of eachother). Jacked up the front and both wheels spin fine!!! Set it down on the ground and it rolls foreward great. Try to get it to move backwards in ANY gear and it WILL NOT BUDGE ( push, pull, nuetral or reverse)!!! I cleaned the MAF to see if it would help with the tranny issue. It did not. I am baffled! Maybe something to do with the transfer case??? I guess I will take it to AAMCO if they have a double sided bay. Otherwise I wont be able to get it out until they fix it.

I took it for a ride and it is shifting very hard and erratically. Finally i got a check engine light and the overdrive light is flashing. Can i get the proper code reader @ Autozone or do i need to take it to some one with better diagnostic equiptment?

I had two things fixed by them when i bought my truck used two years ago.
I got a O/D light flash and it was diagnosed as a faulty T/C and they replaced it under the ESP ext warranty I purchased, paid the $100 deductible.
the light came on again, just after that repair and it was re-diagnosed as bad solenoids and they were replaced. I did not have to pay anymore money, it was transmission related.
I have had no other issues!!!
I bought a MAG HYTEC pan and run synthetic tranny fluid

My friend had a truck that did something similar to that once. The snap ring that holds the clutches into the coast clutch housing popped out and the bearings for the one-way bearing went everywhere and stopped it on and off. Had to get a rebuild of course. I hear it happens alot on 4r100s and e4ods.

I don't know it well enough to tell you for sure, but something in the trans has broken. Probably like was mentioned the coast clutch came apart. The truck will roll one way, but not the other because the one way clutch cannot let loose. There is one for low / reverse as well and it could be there.

I've also got a 2000 Excursion V10 and had to have the trans rebuilt last month at 150,000 miles. It didn't lock up in reverse like yours, but was just making bad noises in first. At the same time they discovered that the front auto hubs were frozen in 2 wheel drive (I haven't used 4 wheel drive in over a year) and so I had to have them replaced also. $$$$
