When you say it doesn't work at all... espain mas please. I put into R and nosin appen. Give it gas and the engine revs, but we don't go nos where. My driveway has a slight incline, so I comfortably coast to the street and get on my way. Also, doesn't always happen. Sometimes it works as you would want it to.
ie: there is absolutely no difference between P - R - N - until D. R and N the same, D works just fine.
or I feel a little something, but it doesn't seem to lock up. Nothing at first start. But after driving around for a while, R works like a champ.
or If I were on a flat level surface, and put it into reverse, it may seem like it is trying to roll backwards, but if I give it gas, it just slips away...
How many miles in reverse on this 19 year old truck? The truck has around 155K. I bought it at 135K. I'm guessin a small amount of those were in reverse
.
Trailer much - yep...I bought it for our travel trailer (about 9,000 lbs). But I do enjoy the occasional ride around town to keep it running while not working it.
