do you know if the dealership technicians refer to their scanners as "Tech2"'s...just curious and want to be informed...I have an appointment to have my truck towed to our dealership on Saturday...If I'm going to pay for a diagnostic...I want them to use every resource they have available...not just say the "bucket of steam" drive belt is bad and its going to be $3500 to fix...dealerships really are a love/hate relationship.....
They probably have Tech-2s around but have largely transitioned to the MDI2 with GDS2 software on a laptop. This was done for the newer cars but is backwards compatible and can talk to your truck.
Now, you have a RWD Hybrid, I bet that you have AXN RPO code which is for the 9.5" 14-bolt rear axle. If I'm wrong, it's got the 8.6" 10-bolt rear as most of us have. If the axle went bed (carrier), you could pick up a used one for about $400 and swap it out in an afternoon if you're handy with tools, provided you have the means to get it to your home and tools to do the work!

Jack up the rear and have someone else shift into drive for a sec while you’re outside to pinpoint the noise. But I thought earlier post said noise was behind driver’s seat. Could be though. I’m hoping it’s something much less expensive than a trans or electric motor or shaft.

It's so hard to tell because the grinding comes with violent shaking...though it is below the truck to the rear of the driver seat...shifts into drive with no hesitation...you take your foot off that brake...all hell grinds and shakes violently...it will not move forward at all....almost feels like if you took two splines at full speed and dropped a piece of hardened steel between the two...if it is the rear end.....theres nothing left inside that pumpkin...except broken shards of steel....that's for sure.
check the 12v+ battery, bad battery = ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Ok, well how about any basic checks so far. Fluid levels and condition.
The engine starts when I put in gear it does nothing it is a 4x4 truck the fluid in the trans looks good and full I really never did anything with hybrids so don’t know much about the aux pump on the display it says service hybrid there were some codes when we scanned it but nothing to do with trans it’s been sitting for a year and only owned it for a year and three daysYour posts don't tell us anything - "quit moving"?? - what does that mean? won't start? no power to engage starter? transmission locked? - come on man - more info if you really want help.
