$600. And now I've changed that pack and that didn't even fix the issue. I miss my 95

ISSUE CORRECTED!! So, after changing the shift solenoid, that includes the range sensor, that is attached to the valve body, my selector still would not indicate when the truck was in park or neutral. A buddy of mine borrowed a decent scanner from his work and brought it up to see if we could get anymore information on the issue. He went through and cleared the codes and stuff out and the next thing we knew, the truck registered it was in park. It's been 3 days since this and it is working fine still. I assume that maybe after changing that sensor, the computer needed a reset/reboot to register that it had been corrected. Thanks for all the info

Now there is something to keep in mind when we see this problem again.

Thank you for posting the solution.
