Like I said, it won't go through all the detents with the engine not running OR with it running. Somehow I have to run it for a while........stop.........then it will let me shift it down in LOW. You're right, the linkage is out of adjustment.

Make sure the wheels are blocked so the truck can't roll. You should be able to manually rotate the shift and see if it will allow you to go through all the gears. The engine does NOT need to be running for this test.
If you can shift through all the detents with the linkage off, then you should be fine inside the transmission. If you can't, then you have a problem inside the transmission with the way the linkage is hooked up there.
