I noticed that my truck would not start up this morning. I thought the battery was dead. So I push my truck off of my carport to get a better angle for a boost-off. I try to start it again and there was no problem. I realized that when this happend again, I was unable to put my truck into (PARK). I believe this is why it would not crank-up. Is my transmission going bad and why I am unable to put my truck into park position.

Make sure the linkage is properly connected. Also, see if the vehicle will start in neutral.

Let me know what you find.
