I'm going to start out with the most recent problem that has popped up for the first time last night!
Just last night actually/unfortunetly........
I went to pick up a friend who needed my help with a little moving and obviously I was more than happy to help
When I arrived to pick my friend up I had put my truck in park like anyone probably would have
Well.... when I went to shift it out of park it just wouldn't do it no matter how hard I tried
I ended up having to turn Rudy (my Ranger) completely off, then on, without starting the engine, was finally able to shift again so I shifted to nuetral, turned the engine back on, and smoothly shifted to reverse then drive like nothing ever happened and drove back home.
at first I will was thinking it had just gotten stuck because it felt like i rolled into the small dip but when I went to turn play truck back on after getting home, parking & coming inside, I had to start the same way again... So I tested it one more time and sure enough I just start it again the same way.
Anybody have any idea what might be the problem?
