MY 1999 DODGE RAM WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR PARK FROM DRIVE. It runs just fine, will shift everywhere but stops at reverse and it feels like something is blocking it. I tried driving and switching gears - would not work. It's not making any new noises, grinding or such. Need help or advice please.

 

Are you saying the shift lever won't move up to R or Park ?

 

Thats what i sounds like hes trying to say.

 

Go under the truck and check your shifter linkages...
