turn caps off, i'm not 95 years old, second your trans is probably toast, did it make any noise when it went out? more the likely your shell blew up

I agree that it is likely a pump failure ... but then given the age of the truck, the pump failure might also just be the first sign that the entire transmission is tired and dying. Check for pump failure using the note below, excerpt from a transmission trouble shooting guide.....

 

 

No movement in any gear: pump failure, or total loss of fluid. R&R, or refill pan and find the leak. If out of fluid, avoid running the engine until the trans is refilled to avoid pump damage. To check for pump failure, check fluid level with the engine off, then start the engine and recheck fluid level. If level does not go down when engine is running, the pump is broken.

 

Hope this helps... but you really need a good transmission shop to check it out.

Don't be surprised if you are told it needs a total transmission and torque converter rebuild... if you trust the mechanic, go ahead and get it done.

 

.. other options are a GM rebuilt transmission, with a dealer install you'll get a 3yr warranty.. good value

 

.. if you are looking for a used transmission at a wrecker yard... you will need a 1995 same year for a replacement... '95's are a one-year transmission in these trucks and 94 or a 96 will not work.... and if your truck is a 4x4 it will have to come out of a 4x4 as well.
