Hesitation, and slow droppin into gear, RPM's up and no movment. List goes on really. Check your fluid to see if its dark and burnt smelling.

Major slipping I was always told or nothing in a certain gear meaning RPM's with no movement or like the guys said, hi fluid temps.

I have every symptom and some and it's still going. It's way passed it's way out too. It left me stranded on a left turn friday and I had to push it to get going. After it cooled off for 15-20 minutes it was fine. It's been doing that to me for about a few months. I'm trying not to drive it to much but I need a hd truck and can't afford to rebuild it right now.

I know it's broken though.
