Thanks Steve83 for info on last post... Dealer repaired shift linkage before I picked up new truck which by the way is 1995 xlt with 5.0 ... New question there is a load humming from rear of truck when sitting at idle sounds like coming from either exhaust or fuel tank area.. could it be a tank pump getting ready to quit wondered if any body else heard this same noise ??? . Any ideas would be a help..

Sounds like the fuel pump . I have heard fuel pumps hum for years in differant vehicles with no problem , but then also have had them go out all at once with no worning. You may want to check the fuel pressure, this may give you a better ideal if the pump is going out or not.
