Just bought the truck listed above 1500 k10. The motor is very strong I can switch gears I can definitely hear when it's in drive. I can't get it to move, RPMs goes up when pushing the gas. I check to see if drive shaft was moving, was very little motion. Left it alone about an hour tried again and engaged and drove about thirty feet then parked. now nothing again? Any ideas I also checked the transmission fluid it looks good.

Hi,

Does it do the same thing in reverse? Also, does the transmission fluid have a burnt smell and appear dirty? Have you tried servicing it? Is the fluid full?

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Also, if you can take a video of what is happening and the condition of the fluid, that should help me.

Let me know.
