Tranny wont come out of 1st unless let off gas (Auto)

Got a 2500 Deisiel, 99 year, anyway the auto will not shift out of first gear unless i let off the gas then gun it, its being very persistant, im wondering if there is anything i can check before i take it in and dump 2 grand on it.

Couple of things that you can check are the TV cable adjustment and the fluid level in the tranny. I would bet on the TV cable.
