    You probably have a broken reverse band. An easy way to tell is to pull the shifter down into manual low at 20 MPH and see if you have engine braking. If the band is broken the truck will freewheel and have no engine breaking.

    your reverse band is also the same band that works with 2nd and 3rd gear if I remember right.... so if you aren't shifting from 2nd to 3rd then you are correct.

    1993 K1500 Suburban 350TBI, 378,486KMS on frame, 49,000KMS on Drivetrain. Lots of mods, built for haulin trailers and haulin @$$

    2000 K2500 Yukon XL 6.0L Vortec 252000KMS custom CAI, and exhaust...but not done yet.
