Thumbs up '93 350 diesel

'93 F350 diesel, passenger side battery ground cable shorted through the coolant line for some reason while backing a trailer.. I cut out the damaged spot and inserted a hose and hose clamps. The truck will crank but the transmission will not move it. I lost 4 quarts of trans fluid but replaced it to the proper full mark. You can put it in any gear and it will not move the truck forward or backward. It was running good before this happened but cannot figure this one out. Would appreciate any help.

Thumbs up

Appreciate your reply: Someone else filled the tranny with fluid, but when I check it while running in neutral it shows to be at the full mark, would that be the same as filling the tranny while running in neutral?

yeah, thats right

some people think they are checking the level when the motor is off, but actually the level can show pretty innacurate because the valve body and tourqe convertor aren't filled with fluid in the same manner as when they are running.

Check to make sure that the wiring to the transmision didn't get burned.
