[jrmbrown93]

I have a 1994 k1500 with a 4l60e the trans goes into gear but when u go to take off it acts like someone is holding the brakes could someone please help

Possible internal leak to the reverse circuit. Valve body may fix it.

And this will sound silly but be sure your brakes aren't actually locked up on any of the wheels. Bad flex hoses in the front are somewhat notorious and will lock up a wheel on you.

True, jack it up and see that one of your brakes is not actually holding lol.

Maybe its in limp mode

Good thing to check too. Is it starting in 1st?

I'm sure the breaks aren't holding cause I've put it in 4 wheel drive and it still feels like the breaks are holding and its obd1 how do I check for limp mode

 

[jrmbrown93]

And when you drive it the trans shifts funny and acts like it dont want to change

Check the trans fuse. It being blown is the #1 cause of limp mode in these trucks. It starts in 2nd gear if its blown.

Fuse is good already checked that and when u start off it has a lil shimmy to it
