i have always thought it was somewhat normal but may be wrong since no one ever complains about it.

sit in your truck with the truck running and keep pulling down on the shift lever while slowly hitting the brakes, while still pulling down on the lever. once you hear the click i bet your shift lever will finally release and go into drive
Yes it wont shift out of Park till you hear it click.

you just verified it as being your brake transmission shift interlock switch.

Well whatever it is, they have replaced it 4 times now, and the clicking always comes back. When it humid or raining out it the pedal makes a sound like you stepped on a frog.

Whatever they replaced, my brake lights now work when you first depress the brake pedal, the clicking is still there. They told me Chrysler said it was normal that other Rams do this. Bah, the rental they gave me did not click.
