Hi every one, do not know if I am Doing this right it is my first time.
I have, a 1999 ford f250 7.3 diesel 4x4 power stroke crew cab and all a sudden the trans is slipping and it won't change to second gear.
Any Ideas???

So is it stuck in 1st? What about reverse? How about the trans temp, is it getting hot ? Is the O/D light flashing ? If so have the codes pulled so we know. Smell the fluid and check level 1st off. Second thing I would do is drop the pan and see if the magnet at the bottom has finally hit puberty and grown a beard. very Small amounts is normal but if its excessive I think it will be obvious to you, take pics if you want. It will help greatly if you have answers to the above questions.
