Check the fluid level and the harness connection where it plugs into the back of the trans.

no abs lights just engine dummy light for two or three key cycles while it was running and warmed up when it would not go into a gear there was no engine light or any dummy light on

You will need a professional scanner for this.

10-4....Just went out to see if anything has changed fluid seems ok maybe a little low that is if 140 degrees is considered hot, but now the dummy light is back on it will shift and go very sluggishly the thing that gets me is the little _ that indicates what gear your in is not there now WTH it would flash before now its just M.I.A.

Almost sounds like limp mode. I always make sure my tranny is full my temp is over 100 I make sure it's full to hot. I'd try putting some fluid in it. Also try disconnecting your batteries for about 15 mins and then try it. My uncles truck went into limp mode one time for no reason and we just unhooked the batteries for about 15-20 mins and it never did it again.
Also when's the last time it was serviced. If you work on it yourself I'd change the fuel filter and tranny spin on filter.
