Poss trans problem
I'm out of town working, wife's got the truck. She called telling me that a couple days ago she started the truck and had no gears. Tried reverse and drive - truck would not move. Had a CEL, trans solenoid. She cleared it and has put over 100 miles on with no issues. Should I be concerned? Or is this just a fluke?

I had one of my solenoids act up where the truck went in to limp mode. It happened where I started my truck and immediatly put it in drive to pull out of a parking spot. When I hit the gas it felt like the trans was slipping, so I stopped and gave it more gas to see if it was slipping and I got the CEL. Cleared it and havent had a problem since. If she did something similar where she started the truck and didnt let it warm up for a second, that may be the problem. Just drive it until it gives you another issue .... and it may never do so. Every once in a while its possible to get a fluke as the truck gets older. Just my .02.

About once a month, when I put mine in reverse, it acts like it's not engaging/slipping. Give it a little gas and it kicks in. I prefer to shift into neutral and back into gear, it always engages fine the second time. It's been very intermittent since I bought it 50k ago. I'm chaulking it up to "one of those things", until it gets worse. Twice changed trans fluid.
