Truck listed above has no reverse and also while running it has no neutral. I have to shut it off to use neutral. Anybody know what the issue is?

Assuming there are no codes, the thing I would start with is checking the shift cable to make sure it is adjusted properly.

Here is a guide that will help with codes as we should check to make sure we don't have another issue:

If there are none, then please see the info below on how to replace and adjust the shift linkage.

I would start with this and if that is fine then we need to check the fluid and change it if it is low or dirty.

Please run through this and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
