With 60,000 miles and never used to 4 wheel, the one time I needed to use 4wd to back out of a ditch, the transmission slipped in drive. I had to use 2nd or 1st gear to get it to move. Once up, now only 1 and 2 gear work, not 3 or Drive unless I move it to 3rd once in motion but it will slip if I accelerate too fast. And, there are funny mechanical noises coming from near the front wheels. No lights are on, fluids are full and I am not so happy; any ideas from someone with a car repair brain? ---

Do you know the transmission model in your truck, i.e. 4L60-E likely? Hopefully, Transman618 will spot your post and have an idea. He is pretty good with diagnosis of GM transmissions. ---

Have you had the problem looked at? What needed to be done? What broke? This is curious problem and I would like to find out what it was. TNX
