I have a 2001 GMC 2500HD automatic 6.0 Vortec and the reverse just quit. All the other gears work fine. Where can I find a video that shows how to solve this?

You need to check a couple of things.
- Ensure you have enough transmission fluid in your vehicle.
- If the fluid is up to par, one of two things could be going wrong (to my knowledge):
- The reverse band has gone out (less likely)
- The reverse solenoid has gone out (more likely)
Is there a check engine light showing on the dash? Might not be, but you should still try to read the codes. There could very well be a transmission code which will tell you what's going on. If it is a bad solenoid, it would probably show up here as a DTC. That's going to help you more than us guessing as to what could be your issue.

I favour the reverse solenoid possibility. Check out insanehydraulics.com/letstalk/solenoiddiode.html for testing, @sonierw. Oct 11, 2016 at 13:43
