I bought a 92 3500 single wheel truck a couple months ago that the P.O. had parked 2 years ago because he began having transmission problems with. He told me he used the truck to haul cattle at one job. A new job brought another truck in his drive, semi-retiring this one. He used it to go to town every now and then. One day he made the 5 mile trip but lost OD on the way back. That's when he parked it. Only starting it every couple weeks to keep the engine lubricated. I guess that faded with time as the batteries were dead when I loaded the truck onto the trailer. I put new batteries in it once I got it home and the 6.5 started right up. But when I put it in gear, I got nothing. I dropped the pan only to find a fair amount of clutch dust but no metal slivers. I went ahead and put a new filter in and added fluid back to see if maybe that would help. I got it to bump into reverse for a moment but then nothing else. All of this to ask if there is something I can check or could it be an electrical problem? Or should I just bite the bullet and take it to a shop for a rebuild? The P.O. showed me where he patched wires back together after a rat chewed through the harness at the back of the engine. Other than the rat, everything under the hood is very clean.
