For those with an auto transmission and the problem in the title. Looks like you can adjust the gear select indicator. If you take off the fuse panel access door there is a little gear looking thing that can be adjusted by turning. It has a little copper wire that goes to the shift linkage. I adjusted the indicator so that the indicator was in the center of the park position. At first it did not start in park so moved to nuetral and started. Shut the truck down and started in park. Seems like the slop in park is better, I guess only time will tell. I'll try to post if a pic if I can figure out how.

Good Job and thanks for the pic. I'll post it here for you

 

If I could only keep all this info stuffed and accesable inside my head I would be all set. Aaahhhrg! Thanks for the pics and info guys!! Reps to ya!

 

Looks like all is good with my truck. I can hold down on the shift lever in park and it still starts. If I did this before it would not start. I would either have to hold up on the shifter lever or start it in neutral. It only took me a year to look at it. Lol.. I don't drive it that much. Hopefully, this can help someone else..........
