Welcome to this forum! Does your shift indicator show that it's in park when you put it in park? Check # 19 in my list of useful threads for more information.

Transmission

no, when its in park, the indicator is almost showing reverse, its just left of the R

ok, i finally found the procedure, thanks. Just have a couple of questions. I looked at it yesterday, and am not sure how that cable comes off the bracked, didnt look like a bolt or anything was holding it on, is it just a clip? does it just pop off with some pressure? Also can i just block the wheels and adjust it on the ground? have no way to raise the truck. thanks for the help!

It has a horseshoe shaped clip holding it in place. Ramps are a good investment. Rhino makes light weight, non metallic ramps.
