So an update. I finally had a day off where I didn't have to do anything!!!! So, following the advice of a friend, I bought the filter and gasket, then waited for it cool a bit. Did the deed, and I don't think I fixed it. This little metal piece popped out. Kinda looks like a really miniature version of a ratchet adapter. Anyway, which way does this thing go in? With the "bib" end pointed towards the trans/truck, or towards the street?
And, after cleaning up all my tools and having put everything back together, I found a small spring. I believe it goes with the metal thingy I found. How are these pieces set up? Otherwise, Everything else went without a hitch.

Ok, well, finished everything I started yesterday. And nothing. I have reverse, but no forward. Everything seems to check out fine, but I just don't have any forward momentum or anyhting.

Did you let it idle long or just start it and try. My truck has no gear until after the truck has warmed up a bit.

If you've got a few extra parts laying around afterward chances are it's not going to work properly whether it's warmed up or not. 
You might want to try posting in the transmission forum and see what kind of response you get.

[face palm] I should! I will.
Nope, no etra parts. I fixed that. All parts were properly installed earlier today. But still no forward. I let it sit and idle and what not. Nothing.

Well these trucks are a lot cheaper to repair, have you called a repair shop to get a quote on repairing that transmission? I've seen a few of these trucks in the junk yard too. It may work as a temporary solution until you get a rebuild.

That's my next hopeful choice. That opr a master repair kit from rockauto.com
Quoted around $1500 and j\higher. Lowest I had was $600. Either way, I dont hasve that kinda money.

I was quoted $900 for a reman on mine, I know that the older ones are a lot cheaper. You should be able to install the trans on your own that's what I want to do. But I also need a torque converter and I'm not going to use a stock one.
