This may sound stupid, but have you checked your transmission fluid lately? If it's low, this could be the reason you're not moving, especially when it's still cold and you're on a hill.
I am starting to wonder, I have recently done the check(Allison auto check) and it said it was OK when I was at a road side rest. I have changed the fluid and filters in the past and the Allison 6 speed auto check feature has told me I was low "X" quarts of fluid after I changed it so I think it is working. Since I am on a hill and the fluid would be cold(I do not believe the fluid gets warm until you drive it not while its idling) maybe it is too low. As mentioned in another post maybe I am not in 1st gear? Any suggestions? Thanks Dave
