Possible reasons why transmission not engaging - at all??

Ah, in his case I’d buy a whole front cut from a junkyard it’s going to need one apron, core support, hood, fenders, etc. just off the pics. Time consuming to swap aprons but as long as the firewalls ok it’s not impossible

 

Thanks Godzilla! I actually wanted to do a 'build thread', but not sure I know how to do it. I tried and one point and think I didn't do it right, because it got no comments or other posts. I initially wanted to fully document the journey on the truck via YouTube or on here....I did post one video on YouTube....I like to do that when I LOOK for help there and find no videos, so then I make one. I posted one on "how to replace the knee airbag unit" since there wasn't one on there to help me. I really appreciate the encouragement! funny thing is, if the fool that stole my catalytic converters hadn't caused so much "collateral damage"....I'd probably have the truck on the road by now.

 

Well....for better or worse, loaded the truck up today and delivered to the body shop. The stupid tow truck driver insisted on driving the truck onto the rollback instead of winching it up. AFTER I told him I had issues with the transmission.....he was sitting there spinning the tires getting it up the ramp!

 

That'd be a call to the supervisor. I would have told him "it doesn't run. Don't try to start it unless you plan on buying me a new engine." I've ran a rolldeck before, and it's not even remotely hard to winch it on. Just takes getting on the ground to hook up, and then it's a little slow.

 

If someone does something I’ve specifically asked them to NOT to do….wtf is wrong with people.
