I belive its the lock up engaging in reverse,forward its ok..

Here in norway there is almoust only hills,i understand the different need for engines if its flat..the cost of an overhaul isnt realy an issue here cause the companies change out the trucks when they have 500 000km on them,others drive them to almoust a million,but then the rest of the truck is...
