Thank you Fish.

 

HA! I had the pics on my photobucket from the last time I posted them here, LOL.

 

I thought this is what winches are for

 

An interim solution may be to put the transfer case in neutral and push it out of the way. Removing the park interlock solenoid is pretty easy though.

Now i just need to know how to tell if the brake light swithch is shot or just needs adjustment? Also how do i adjust it?

Thanks

I have heard of a way to trick the system, you run a jumper wire from the rear defroster connector to the high mounted stop light, start engine, turn on rear defrost, stop lights come on, you can now shift out of park.
I have yet to confirm that this actually works.
If he gives it a shot and lets us know that would be one myth we could confirm or bust.

It works and its easier than that, IF its the brake light switch that's bad.
Use a small piece of wire or even a paper clip.
On the rear door there's two metal tabs, one to the third brake light and the other for the rear defroster.
Jumper these two tabs.
Start the truck and press the rear defrost button. This will complete the circuit and will release the shift lock solenoid. This only works if the brake light switch is bad or out of adjustment. If the solenoid is shot you'll have to manually depress the plunger on the solenoid like in my above post.

 

Alan-the brake light switch is cheap enough, just order a new one.
There is a plunger on it, most are adjustable, it is on the bake of the brake pedal.
