I would have to say it's maybe a misalignment of the sensor or a bad sensor itself that tells it what gear it's in. Maybe when you're in reverse the truck thinks it's in neutral or something along that line.

When you are in reverse do your back-up lights come on????

NOTE - don't try to check this by yourself, have someone look for you

Probably a bad sensor or corroded contacts at the sensor.

Mine does the same. I have heard a dealer can diagnose and isolate which one is bad for you. You can then have them replace or do it yourself. They are a bit of a pain to access to remove.
