Take it to a shop where they can change the transmission fluid and filter and also have them do a good flush of the transmission with a special solvent they use. If this doesn't help it may be time for a rebuilt transmission.
Testimonial: "Thank you, I just bought this truck got a good deal knowing it may need a transmission. Any tricks you can think of please help."
The truck was driven 15 miles to work. Ran fine. On way home it started slipping, stopped added fluid (6 miles) then it wouldn't shift out of low and slipped in reverse. He parked it and hasn't moved since. I drove it to my house 15 miles in low gear. It's leaking a little around the pan (gasket I hope). The fluid is a little dark.

For
car not changing gears and not shifting out of park mode ,it can be shifter assembly issue, or it can also be
transmission issue. Get the shifter assembly inspected with ignition OFF.

Thank you I just bought this truck knowing it had a problem, it was ran low on fluid and slipping when he put fluid in, it just had low gear and the reverse slip. I noticed the fluid is darker than normal also. He said it ran fine on his way to work, (15 mile) slipped bad on his way home, stopped at store for fluid (6 mile), added then home and parked it. It has a small leak around the pan which is why it got low. (gasket I hope)
