My shifter on the steering column has become sloppy lately, sloppy enough that it didn't fully engage into park, and the truck would roll.
I was going to do linkage adjustments, possibly buy a new shifter cable, but decided to do a search.
there is a thread I found that explains how to fix, so I threw up a new post in this forum with link to it

there is a youtube video in that thread ( http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...=iW170pxW508&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13710669233319 ), watch video and everything becomes clear.
so the previous video link doesn't work, here's a link that may work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKqiDy_Po2M
edit:
As a sidenote, since the truck wasn't going into park fully, I also had intermittent starting issues. First time I shifted into neutral to start it, then figured out what was happening.
edit 2:
the screw backed out again so I used red Loctite
