For the mechanics in here.

So as I was turning at a green light, I heard a loud bang. Seriously thought someone hit me. I tried to accelerate out of the intersection and the engine just reved. I coasted into a parking lot. Put it in park and when I released the brake, the truck rolled backwards. I know this isn’t a whole lot of information but any idea what could possible have happened. Getting it towed to the dealership to have it diagnosed but thought some of you guys may have a good idea on the issue. I think it’s the transmission but ready it may be a link or something. I looked under the truck and could not see any visible damage or leaking. There was a weird hissing noise for a little while. Maybe whining noise but it almost sounded like air escaping. ‍♂️

If your driveshaft turns when it's in gear it sounds like possibly the pinion in your rear end. That happened to me years ago. Just a thought.
