Hy medicmax11769, Are you talking about a transmission that is just sitting in the truck and your trying to shift it without the engine running?

Hy medimax11769, So many things it could be, just the fact that the gears are sitting still and not changing their relationship to one another, it could be the shifter itself, but I don't think so because it will shift into reverse, it could be the shift rails inside the top cover. Try turning the engine by hand a bit and see if you can find any other gear,hope this helps.

Or, even roll the truck back and forth a little bit instead, or in combination with turning the motor by hand. And it could also be that somebody took the top cover off and didn't line everything up properly when they put it back on.
