When I slide my colum shift up into park the LED circle around the R for reverse disappears but doesn't appear around the P for park. These shifters are weird as they don't just go left to right you kind of have to push it up toward the windshield as well. If I jiggle it it goes into park ok but it's getting old. Got back from a four hr drive from NV and next morning it wouldn,t start. I figured I'd left the interior lights on. Boy did I feel foolish when the AAA guy jiggled the colum shift and it started right up. Wasn't in park all the way. Anyone else bothered by this or do I just need to adjust some linkage?

 

Sometimes i have troubles getting it out of park if i pull the shifter the wrong angle.

Never had troubles getting it into park.

Ask the dealer?

 

Billyrae, Same thing with my shifter! Have to jiggle it for the light to go on around the P.

 

Sounds like a trip tho the dealer will fix that. All it needs is adjustment. Maybe they'll have to replace the whole truck

 

Mine does it too. and now its shifting funny. wont shift like it usually did. i guess its only got 1400 miles on it so shifitng isnt 'ususal' yet but none the less they were peftect before. now they seem off

 

Mine does the same thing, I have to wiggle it to get it to show "PARK". I intend to have the dealer look at it first chance, at 3K right now and haven't been able to get back to dealer yet.

We had the same problem, couldnt get it out of park... get your dealer to replace the shift interlock cable.
Also, there is a thread in the General Diesel Discussion Forum you should take a look at. Has to do with trucks that don't go into Park. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...threadid=50173

 

same goes here..I first noticed a problem when I thought it was in park, left it running in the driveway, after I got out the trans slipped into reverse...I was lucky not to have my back turned and noticed it moving slowly...was able to get in and put it in park..I got off lucky on that one...tought me one important thing, always use the parking brake!!!
