So I was driving home from school today and as I was going out of the parking lot I didn't notice, but as I went on the highway I realized that the truck wouldn't shift gears (I was in Drive). The speedometer was a zero the whole time (this really freaked me out since I was taking a friend home) but the abs light was on also. Finally it changed gears, speedo stared moving, and the abs light went off.
I drove later today to see what was working and if it would do it again. I drove out of the driveway, wouldn't switch gears, abs light on and speedo was at zero. Then I pulled over, turned the truck off and back on (whole time in D)- every thing was fine as a backed out and drove for about 10 sec...then the speedo dropped to zero and the abs light came on. Drove for a little and pulled into a gas station. PRN all work and this time I turned it off, started it and put it in 3. Stayed it 3 but wouldn't shift to 2, 1, or D to upshift. Not entirely sure what this is...It's a 97 k1500 5.7 Just got it back running recently so there's still a few problems (leaking water, weird squeaking sound when driving slow)
Help? Is this VSS failure? (I don't know a whole lot about cars)
How would I fix this?
Thanks
