I just wanted something to eat.
Should I just kill myself?

I'd say put your truck in drive and lay down in front of it but that wouldn't work.

...

4l60E transmission I assume? No surprise there, those things are certified turds. Mine went out in my company silverado at just over 100k. What did yours do?

It wasn't doing anything, it worked perfectly fine up until now. I've had practically no problems with it.

125k miles and it just went thunk at a stop sign and now it wont hardly move. It makes this weird sound like the gears are turning in the trans now when its in Drive, sort of a low metallic sound, but other than that it just wont move. It never did that before.

Also, my truck is a single cab 4 cylinder, that pic is from google.

Mine did something similar. Mine went out while I was reversing but I had no forward gears at all. My problem was the torque converter, and that problem is common with GM automatics

How much does it cost to replace?

Can it be done without going to a shop?

when did you last do the transmission oil and filter?

It's been some time, can't really check now because it's dark outside. I'll have to look tomorrow.

I was gonna try and check that plus the filter before I take it to the stealership.

I assumed that when I got my oil changed and they marked that they topped off the fluids that they actually did, I'm willing to bet that they didn't.

Couldn't tell you how much it cost, my company covered the expense. I helped a friend do it once, though. basic jist is
>separate driveshaft from rear of tranny
>separate tranny from engine
> unbolt bad troque converter and replace
If your truck is high enough off the ground you can do it without jackstands. Doable with enough patience. Hardest part will be reaching the top transmission bolt, so make sure you have plenty of extensions and/or noodle arms
