ANOTHER PROBLEM, Tranny is very hard to shift out of park
Just as the title says, I really have to pull it out park to get it to move, other than that, it seems fine. No clunck or anything from the tranny. Thanks

Do you put the e-brake on before you shift to Park and take it out of park before release the brake ? I have noticed if I am on anything other than a level surface - it will put a bunch of pressure on the parking pin if I go out of order. E-brake then to Park, Park to D release ebrake.

Cable interlock is on the cable right by the pan, might check connections there and make sure they are good.
If that doesn't work, block and jack up rear wheel to take tension off the drive line, pop the shift cable off the shift lever, see if can shift it in and out of park by hand. The lever is not so tight you can't do it by hand.
If it hard to shift and jams in park its internal, likely the detent ball on the shift detent lever on top of the VB.

A possibility.........the detent ball (for the shift lever) on the top of the valve body is sometimes known to wear it's bore oblong, and causing the ball to hang up.

My 05 was doing the same thing and I've, with help, tracked it down to the brake safety switch. I'm not sure of the exact name. Someone out there know the name of the tranny brake safety switch or is that the name?

For those that still have the problem. Try shutting the truck off in neutral and then put it in park. If this helps, (not fixes), it is most likely the detent above the VB causing the ball to hang up. (As stated above)
This is all assuming you have checked your external cable mechanism and it is in proper working order.

That's what the dealer said they thought it was.....soooooooo, they didn't even really try to fix it!!!! I will try this trick and see what happens.
Thanks
