Thanks for the info! I really needed to find out what equipment I have and where the Information is. I'm really not as green as I must have sounded I just don't know anything about this truck. I believe the problem I'm having with the trans is in the valve body. I drove it home on the highway after I bought it which was about 65 miles. It didn't like going into high gear. It shuddered and shook going in and then drove fine. All the temperatures were in the normal operating ranges and I was careful with RPM and varied the speed occasionally. When I took my exit off the highway and coasted to the light it died in the last few feet. It was like I was driving a standard vehicle and I forgot to push in the clutch coming to a stop. I put it in neutral and it started right up and went into gear. 1,2,3 shifted great, but again it didn't like high gear. The truck has 2500 miles on it. I figured it just needed to get moving again. So, I get home and park it for two days. Sunday afternoon I start it up and take it for a spin. I leave the driveway and it shifts 1,2,3 perfect. Turn the corner and again its 1,2,3 and I'm at about 35 MPH holding the throttle steady waiting on the high gear shift and I saw smoke come out from the hood. I pulled over and It died again. I got out, the smoke disappeared, no fluid or leaks anywhere. Started it up and now I have reverse gear when the selector is in R and N and no forward gears. And, not just no forward gears, it acts like I'm against a building trying to push it over. I think there is a stuck servo or two in the valve body. I disengaged the transfer case and went through the gear selector detents with the engine running and the drive shaft spins in reverse and neutral. when I put in drive the shaft stops. I have worked on valve bodies in later model cars so I may have a look at this one or I'd really like to buy a new or rebuilt assembly. Has anyone ever had this problem or one similar that you can remember hearing about? Thanks.
