check the trans fluid ?can you here the van go into gear or not at all ?

Has the automatic transmission fluid and filter been changed. A flush and change is worth a try.

Look for vacuum lines of and might be time for a tune up. Plugs, wires

Have you checked the transmission fluid?

Heavy load in park sounds like a transmission issue. The torque converter and transmission pump are still spinning in park

The wheels turning opposite is normal. It's how the differential works. You need to get the transmission checked out by a qualified tranny person.

have it scanned, could be as simple as a mlp sensor...manual lever position. or what ya dread, a overhaul

In 9 out of 10 cases when I see this problem in the ranger, it is the planetary gear in the transmission. It is made of the cheapest metal available. It breaks usually from going to park before the truck stops or switching from reverse to drive while still rolling. Just a Idea , But I hope it isn't that . Reverse will work fine for a while, and have no forward gears.
