Key off. Foot on the brake. Try and shift into first, then back into neutral. Do this a couple times. If it catches, its the reverse lockout switch. Kind of a "nothing" part that can be annoying to change out depending on where the manufacturer wired it in at.

Also, if that starter was a boneyard scavange, it might be giving up the ghost. If it was new, it could be something as simple as a wire coming loose. If you are gonna have it in for a tune-up, have 'em take a peak. You'd think they'd experience the fault while working on your truck if they turn it on/off more than once.

I'm hoping that will happen...I mean, that it does it while it's in for the tune-up. I can delay my trip by a day, but more than that would put it into next motnh.

Does this work for a standard trans?

OK. I'll get the tune-up first, and if necessary, wait a day to have the alignment. Thanks for all the help, guys!
