Default allison stuck in 3 gear

driving truck and shift into 3rd and wouldn't go higher or low and no reverse
shut truck off and let it sit for 10-15 minute started back up and now has all gears again
would it be the computer on the side of the transmission

That is possible 6.2Lturbo but it sounds more like a failing transmission. Were you WOT when it happened?

3rd gear is the default gear the transmission goes into when in limp mode. There are many reasons for the transmission going into limp mode. What was it/you doing just before it happened?

Reading the transmission code could shed some light on the cause. Unfortunately most code readers won't read transmission codes. You may have to take it to the dealer or allison shop to find out
