All of a sudden it stopped moving but with no noise? Now I can put it in any 4x4 option and the gear shift in nutral grab the rear drive shaft twist it and the front moves in sync with the rear the veical also rolls like it should. So I decided it wasn't the chain in the case because it would not move in sync. I can put the truck in drive reverse second third it does not move just the rpms but not a lick of sound from the transmission and the shafts do not move ether. I don't get it if the tourqe converter was out you would think it would sound horendus. Is it the bands snapped clean from the brutal beatdown? It is an AW4 tranny with 135000. And a newer NP242 tcase with 40000 on it. Or is it maybey a fuse or short? Idk? When put in gear you can hear it change rpms it kicks down from the fluid change I'm limited on money and have decent mechanical ability could someone point me the right direction?

Cleaned up the new garage a little bit. Got all the house boxes moved upstairs, moved all the cabinets and shelves back against the walls, and got things up off the floor.
Nothing is really where it goes yet, but it's definitely good progress for the day!
Here's the 'before'
And here's how I'm leaving it to go eat dinner:

Doing the little things I can while the heads off to have as much clean and nice under the hood as I can. Still having trouble getting the edge bit of head gasket off. Been trying razor blades and tried some gasket remover and it just doesn't seem to want to come off.
