Transmission was working normal, then the next time I try to drive only reverse is working. No noises and there is fluid, just won't go forward.

Hello,

Can you possibly send us a video showing the instrument cluster while you select gears? Can you feel the truck go into Drive or any other gear? It's very likely the shift cable is out of adjustment. You may have to jiggle the shifter to get the cable to pull back enough. If you have a friend to help, I would have him/her stand on the brake pedal and have the e-brake engaged, while you go under the truck and manually move the gear selector at the transmission. The selector will be on the side of the transmission with a cable attached to it. Please let us know if we can help or if you need any further information.
