Have you checked to make sure the shifter linkage is in good condition and tight? Also, is the transmission fluid clean and full? As far as the shift linkage, your vehicle does have a cable which runs to the transmission. If it is stretched, loose, that could be causing issues by not fully being engaged in gear. See attached picture for what the cable will look like. Note where the cable is pron to bend. Considering how many miles are the truck, that could be an issue.
