tranny problem

[fastram05]

when my truck is cold and i start it, put it in drive i actually have to rev it while in drive to about 3k for it to move, it doesnt do this very often. wild its still cold if i stop at a stop sign it will stall out. is it my tranny going out or just need to change the fluid and filter?

A clogged filter can make it act like that so if it's overdue for a fluid and filter change I think that would be a good place to start.

I once had a Dodge van that acted like that. I was in fear the tranny was dying but as a cheap last resort I had it flushed and was good as new.

would this make me loose power..as in towing power?

Start with drain, filter(s) change and refill. Then see how it is. If it is full of metal in the pan it is much worse than just a little issue.
