i bought a '99 7.3L with 130,000 on it, a week after i bought it, i would put it in gear whether it be 1st, 2nd, drive, or reverse and the truck wouldnt move unless i gave it a considerable ammount of gas, then all of a sudden it stopped, now a month l8r it started again today, please give me some insight!

Welcome to the forum!!!!

Im no trans expert by any means, but my guess would be either a binding torque converter or maybe a sun gear or something i the trans binding.....harald@BD should be on tomarrow and may be able to shed a little more light on it...

[cam344]

if its the torque converter how much are we talkin to fix it

[mschn99]

all depends on if its just the converter, or if the converter has contaminated the rest of the trans..

[cam344]

how but just the converter has gone, could someone ball park it for me

Not to be a smart aleck but are you sure the emergency brake is off and that the cables aren't binding?

LOL, I know you are not being a smart aleck, I was going down a hiway one day and something came up and hit the ex brake cable and pulled on it hard and it took me two days to find what was wrong with it. Hope that all he needs to fix.
