Not going forward is a mechanical failure inside the trans.

definatly needs to come out. what was the truck doing at the time of the failure? does it move if you choose anything other than "D"?

its not a big deal to go try another gear position, as mark said you have a major mechanical failure. it will be obvious when you start tearing it apart what broke. when that happened to mine it was the foreward planetary that let go.

I thought it may be something major.. not looking forward to getting that bill. I may looked for a used one just to see prices
