Sorry I edited:
I'm driving a 2005 Dodge 1500 2 wheel drive or I was anyway.
I was driving done the highway with cruise control on,
when I started loosing speed and the rpm's went up.
I was not pulling a trailer or anything in the box.
The truck wouldn't move!
It wouldn't go in any gear!
Well when It was taken apart the transmission was fine it looked still new.
The then started to take the torque converter apart and said something had brook.
Just wondering what would cause this.
They said pulling trailers had nothing to do with it.
If pulling trailers was the cause you should have transmission problems also.
I don't know anything about this and this forum has been great for input so I thought I would ask.
I'm to get my truck back next week>
Thanks for all the input you have all given.

Sounds fishy to me. A two wheel drive truck has NO transfer case. JMHO

You need to get more information from your repair location. As was mentioned, a 4x2 vehicle doesn't have a transfer case. Could they mean rear differential?

If it was the rear end when the truck slowed down the speed odometer should have registered a speed, like your are on ice. Maybe a clue?

If it's an automatic, that sounds like the transmission to me, major torque converter slip or lost the input shaft gear. Usually a rear end will go out with a bang and lock up.
I agree, no 4wd transfer case on a 2wd truck!

Sorry I was wrong.
Its was something with the torque converter.
Like I said I know nothing about trucks.
But what would cause this to go on a 2005 Dodge 1500?

Pulling trailers is hard on the transmission. If you've heated it up from letting it hunt gears, running it in overdrive, or cycling through locking/unlocking the converter, that can cause it to fail eventually.

I have always pulled with the tow/hauling button on and I don't remember letting it hunt for a gear.
The truck came with the tow package
Could it be just a weak part?

It's mechanical - yes it could be a weak part in the torque converter. Odd that there's no mention of burnt trans fluid.
