98 ram 1500 4wd. all of a sudden reverse is gone, fluid is ok in tran and xfer case. when you shift it into reverse you can feel it kick into gear and if you let off brake it will creep backward but if you give it gas it does nothing. i have no clue as to what to look for. any help will be great. Thanks

i guess i cant buy an answer lol

I am assuming you have an automatic.

To properly check the fluid level, the fluid should be hot and the truck must be idling in neutral (N). Checking any other way will give you a false level.

Now I offer the following suggestion. Take it for a drive going forward. Start out in manual low (1). At 3000 rpm, shift to manual second (2). At 3,000 rpm again, shift to D. Tell me what happens after you shift to D.

I await your reply.

i hope we can find out what the problem is and its not expensive. mines a 99 with a cummins and it went out after i pulled a truck off carolina beach deep sand ol well hopefully someone will help kmanic is trying i hope he comes through with right ans.

Read Mitch's thread on the same issue. Everything there applies to you, as well. Do the tests I described there and let me know what you find.
