I'm assuming you have a 4wheel drive. Did you include the transfercase in your service?
(Once upon a time... the principals car came into my schools autoshop. Basically had the same situation as you. The car wouldn't move till about 3k rpm. We went to drain the tranny and it was bone dry. We added fluid and it worked fine)

Did it start doing this before or after the service? It sounds to me like a low fluid problem.

its got literally the exact amount of fluid its supposed to have in it and the transfer case wouldnt have anything to do with it . and it has fluid in that too

at first it wouldnt go into gear right away when it was started.all it would do would rev then it would slam into gear . then after the filter and fluid change,then it wouldnt go at all until the high rpm . its not engaging the first sencond or third gear only 4 and in reverse it only goes in high rpm too.

Come to think of it, I think its the computer. I was searching and found out that the transmission is electronically controlled. So I think the "controller" of the transmission is most likely the culprit here.
