Transmission problems
I have a 1998 ford F-250 light duty..
yesterday i was leaving work when i realized my truck was driving funny. It would pop into gear (drive.. its a/t) and go but when i tried to give it any throttle it would just rev and stay at the same speed..
I dont know transmissions very well and have NO clue what this would be. If someone could let me know what it might be and how i could go about fixing it that would be amazing! thanks!

ok i cannot find the receipt.. so lets say they did not change the fluid and the truck was low on fluid causing this problem.. would the fix be as simple as adding new fluid or will i need to get the transmission opened up?
Im sorry that im being vague but i am new to the truck world.. couldnt tell you a thing about an automatic transmission if my life depended on it.

The truck got into the shop yesterday and he found out that the motor responsible for enabling the 4x4 had burnt out and somehow put it in 4L when the switch in the truck had stayed in 2H.
This seems stupid but im just glad that my truck isnt going to cost me an arm and a leg.
The only other thing i was wondering is, my instrument cluster fuse had gone several days prior to that and i didnt think much of it and was gunna replace the fuse when i had time to go buy some new ones.. but i looked at the fuses and the one that is burnt out is fuse number 29.. this fuse controlls :
Autolamp Module,
Instrument Cluster,
Transmission Control Switch (TCS),
Brake Warning Resistor/Diode Assembly (W/RABS)
do you think this has any relation? (regarding the TCS)

The TCS is the button at the end of the shift lever. It's used when towing to disengage the torque converter lock-up clutch. It would have no effect on the 4x4.
