So here I am drivin happily down 278 blasting out some Charlie Farley and minding my own business when my truck suddenly goes into what I believe is Overdrive. I have an 84' k10 with a swapped 350 and the 700r4. The truck revs extremely high going into O.D. but with no tachometer I can't tell exactly what it is. Plus with custom true dual straight pipes as emissions is not needed here in Ga, it is really loud making it hard to tell once more or if it's just me or not (which it isn't). Well as I'm driving, the trucks shifts into O.D. and as I let off the gas, it doesn't want to shift back. It's like I have no 1-3 and it's just O.D. I'm completely dumbfounded and actually nervous as hell bc I have no money for repairs right now. On top of all of this, my water pump has been leaking pretty bad. It finally decided to give out and spew all of my coolant out after I had limped my way home. Could the water pump and lack of coolant also be affecting the transmission? As I pull in front of my house, I can hear a ticking noise going with the revs of the engine. Now I'm thinking the worst. I think the water pump still works? but the gaskets might have just deteriorated away enough for this to happen. Idk and idk how to check. So I have a transmission stuck on O.D. and a screwed water pump... but hey, of course my luck just has to keep coming doesn't it??? I have no power steering whatsoever. When accelerating or even coasting I can turn my wheel easily. When braking, my wheel becomes hard to turn and at a standstill there is no turning it at all. Pretty sure it's the gearbox but once more idk how to or even if there is a way to check. Oh me what have I gotten into? This is my daily driver so I need help ASAP!!! Please please oh please.
