Help with column adjustment

My truck will not start in park , sometimes I have to move it to neutral. Also when it's in park it will roll a few feet before it stops. Where is the adjustment made? Thanks

Are you talking about recalibrating the gear indicator?

I assume the shifter is very sloppy? There are 2 Torx screws under the dash holding column components together that sometimes back out and cause slop or a loose shifter. These can be found by removing the fuse box cover and laying on your back on the floorboard.
Then reach up and wiggle the shifter around a bit.. You should see them easily.

We had this problem in our Ex recently to the point of the shifter dropping from Park to Reverse with the engine idling! Lucky one of my guys was standing right beside the driver door.
