Need help guys..
2002 Diesel, 7.3, Crew, 4x4, 160,000 miles
In June, while towing my trailer I lost 3rd and OD and reverse. This was after towing mostly in 2nd gear for about 10 miles in bumper to bumper to traffic. When I reached the freeway, it would not shift out of second. It would go into 1st. I pulled over and let the tranny cool (the pillar gauge said it never went about 175). The light on the stick shift never began to blink. When I first parked, I went to back it up, and I noticed it did not have reverse either. After about a 30 minutes, the truck ran fine and shifted in all gears all the way home. Then when taking the trailer to storage, it locked out of 3rd and OD again, only while towing. I do not know if reverse also went out because I did not try it.
Fast forward to last week. My truck ran out of gas and then would not start. It was towed to reputable mechanic and was fixed today (air in the lines). He now says it will not go into reverse. All forward gears work. He is going to put it on the laptop to code Tuesday. I did remove the programmer prior to it being towed and returned it to stock in an effort to get it to start after running out of gas. It has not been driven since June till last week when it ran out of gas. It shifts fine, no slipping and I have not overheated it. The fluid, according the mechanic, looks good.
Ideas please!
