Gear Shift Lever

I just noticed my gear shift lever has changed. Reverse is PARK, Neutral is REVERSE, Drive is NEUTRAL, 2 is DRIVE. Any ideas?

Well there is a shift indicator adjustment on your truck, under dash on steering column. Is that what you are talking about?

Do not screw with the adjustment first thing, you'll likely screw it up. This is especially the case if the thing used to register correctly.

The real first thing to do is to check to see if your shifter is "sloppy". If so, usual cause is loose Torx screws under the dash or worn out shifter bushings. Less common are stretched cables or other loose portions in the linkage.
