Enlighten me please. I went to work leaving my 2000 1 ton
parked. Got home and it cranked fine but when I put it in
reverse it wouldn't pull at all. I put it in neutral and after
a minute or so it shifted fine. Please tell me what is wrong
as it's driving me crazy.

Tks. Danny

I usually start my truck and immediately shift to neutral.... give it about 10-15 seconds and it will be ready to go..
Just dont pak on a hill and have something important right behind you the next morning... you might run it over..
