Default need help!

Im stuck in the middle of PA and my truck is dead in the water. Every time i put it in gear it stalls. I think the torque converter is locked up, but i dont know. Is there anyway to get it unlocked? I have almost no money, only enough for gas to get me home. I think im screwed. Lol

If it's an electrical fault, unplugging the harness will expose it. Unplug the thing, start the truck, drop it into gear... hope for the best.

That seems the most sure bet, right there. Just be careful towing!

Thanks. Im seriously about ready to push this truck off the nearest cliff. Or shoot at it for target practice. Or shoot at it THEN push it off a cliff......flaming.

If i wasnt so broke I would have offered to come down and lend you a hand. But seems that you got it mostly all under control.. Good luck with the fix. Hopefully its something simple and not to expensive
