So I rode around a little bit today and got high centered. After numerous attempts, I had to have my cousin come pull me out.

Here's where the problem begins...

Despite the fact that there's nothing physically impeding anything, it drags. I mean is barely moves. I had to throttle it to get it up my driveway.

I hosed off the undercarriage and triple checked for leaks, which there were none, all fluids are ok. Oil, water...good. The transmission fluid and filter was just changed, but it is blackened a little bit. It engages into all gears and has no problems turning the tires, with the exception that it's acting like it's dragging a house. I opened up the rear end and everything in the diff is good and turns fine.

Also note that when it is in PARK, the motor starts and runs fine, good throttle response, good idle.

A couple of guys at work have been saying it's the torque converter, is there a way to test this theory?
