    have it scanned asap before you drive it any more-may be something as simple as a solenoid but dont take the chance till you know-it can lead to catastophic trans failure-Good Luck

    where is this solenoid located? inside tranny or outside and is there a picture you can tag to it? Thanks, ready to send this truck off the cliff!
