transmission woes
Was driving home today, going up a small hill and I heard a loud bang and then it would barely move (I was able to get it off the road into a parking lot). Any ideas? Torque converter? If so, I wonder what I'm looking at to get it fixed?

Re: transmission woes
Which transmission? Does the truck barely move in all the gears? Any noises after the initial bang?

Re: transmission woes
Whatever it is it can be good. I was driving my dads truck in high school and the transmission went out. Something similar to what you describe happened and it was the end of that one as well.

Re: transmission woes
Sounds like it's time to get an assessment at a trans shop.
