Welcome back. I have one more question. Does the speedometer show the vehicle is moving when it is in gear and not moving?
I am sorry. I should have asked that last night. If the speedometer is working and showing the vehicle is moving, the problem is most likely in the transfer case or a differential. If it is not moving, I suspect it is in the transmission.
Based on it being a transmission related issue, secure the vehicle so it cannot move. With the engine off and wheels blocked, crawl under the truck and remove the inspection plate where the flywheel attaches to the engine on one side and the torque converter is attached on the other.
Inspect the flywheel. Since you heard a bang, I question if the flywheel broke and is no longer turning the torque converter. At least this is a starting point. See if it is loose or you can turn the flywheel by hand easily.
Do this and let me know what you find. If the speedometer is not working (falsely) I suspect something broke between the flywheel and the output shaft (where the output speed sensor is located). If the speedometer works but the truck does not move, something has broken after that point.
Do this and let me know what you find. Also, if you have a scanner, scan the computer to see if there are any transmission related trouble codes stored.
Take care and let me know what you find. If I do not hear from you in a couple days, I wish you and your family a nice Thanksgiving.
Take care,
Joe
