I had my trans rebuilt a couple of years ago. I was driving the other day and it felt like my tires were slipping on ice when I turned the corner. I let of the gas and then waited a second and pressed the peddle down again, but the engine only reved. I pulled over thinking I had bumbed it into (N), but no luck. The engine will rev and when I get to 4000 RPM or so the truck will begin to creep foward when in gear of creep in Reverse when in Reverse. I had checked my fluid about a month ago and it was fine. I checked my fluid the next day after this happened and it was a dark grey, about the color of pencil lead. I am not much of a mechanic, and could use some help here. Thanks

Sounds to me like your transmission went out again. You might have to be rebuilt again or buy another one.

Yep, it sounds like the transmission has gone bad. I would get another one and install it.
