2004 chevy express 3500 no shifting properly

I have a sporadic problem with my 2004 chevy express 3500. I have isolated when it does it and how to solve the problem when it does, but that's not good enough. The local dealer service department can't fix it.

When I drive several hours, then sit idol for a while, it will not shift to high gear. I don't ever feel it shift at all. It is a struggle, just to get it to go 45mph.
The only way to fix it is to disconnect the battery, then connect it back up.

If you have specific details as to the times , rpms , conditions that cause the problems take it to an accredited auto transmission specialist shop and have it diagnosed
with your details they should be able to pinpoint the fault as it will not be uncommon

How do I start 1997 chevy express 3500 with the wires?

You can't. It has an anti-theft device. The days of boosting a car with a couple of wires ended in the 1980s! You have to fix the problem, not find a way around it.

Have a chevy express diesel 3500 it runs good except it sometimes stall while driving and at certain speeds it jerks every now and again

it sounds like the transmission is slipping. you can try a bottle of lucas transmission slip fix but thats more of a band aid. if any fault codes are present check those, could also be a shift solenoid going bad. make sure fluid is at proper level and see if it looks or smells burnt, good sign of a slipping trans is burnt fluid.
