Hey Fellas, I am new to the forum and reaching out for some advice. I have an 05 ram 2500 cummins automatic. I have had this issue over the last few years where the truck will not come out of park, Brake applied, waiting, restart truck, pull key out restart. apply ebrake. Most of the time I get it going but this last time was a whole other beast. No matter what I tried I could not get it out of park. I ended up pulling so hard I broke the shift cable end that attaches to the column shift lever. I ended up pulling the cable out of the mount, and seen a solenoid that locks the cable if the brake is not on, I removed that lock from the cable, and was holding the cable in my hand. I had the ebrake on and used a set of vise grips and could STILL not get the truck out of park. after multiple attempts I finally got it freed, after park, trans shifts thru all gears easy by hand with me pulling or pushing on the cable itself. It runs and drives as it should. put it back in park, and same crap fight to get it out for 10 mins, I now have the truck parked in neutral, keep the ebrake on, start in neutral shift with hand pushing or pulling cable. I am ordering a new shift cable but my questions is this,,
--Is there something in the trans that can cause this issue, a shift detent lever ETC?? or is there by chance another lock solenoid in the trans itself that is screwing up. I am a very capable mechanic, but to be honest I'm just not familiar with dodges as this is my first one.
any help would be appreciated.
