1999 ram 2500 gas. Transmission will not shift into third gear. Fluid is in “ok” rang
Fluid is in the ok range in neutral. Fluid doesn’t smell burnt and is red as is should be. The truck sat a few years and needed a head gasket. I rebuilt the motor and am not a transmission guy. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I’m thinking I’m going to pop the pan off and change the filter and put new fluid in. Thanks
Before you pop the pan off, have you scanned the PCM to see if you have any stored transmission codes in the PCM?
Also, you can check the following thread for troubleshooting the transmission for typical issues:

Lastly, if you haven't already, you can download the factory service manual for your year truck via this link. I believe there is a complete troubleshooting guide in the transmission section of the service manual:
