Hello, I to was a Chrysler Corporation mechanic for over 30 years. I love watching your videos. You're very professional, clear on your instructions, a pleasure to watch. I must say thou I'm happy to be retired and not have to earn a living turning tools for a paycheck anymore. I do miss not rebuilding transmissions anymore, something I really enjoyed. Keep up the good work and have a good day.

Thank you!! Just bought a 2014 Ram 1500 with the 8 speed/knob shifter. I always change my oil on ramps, then push the vehicle down in neutral to level, to fill it so I don't get a bogus reading. I thought I was going to have to start jacking it up, but this video gave me the answer. Great tip/secret hack. My truck doesn't have the owner's manual with it, so I would've never known about that.

Pulled up to an intersection in my F550 and one of these trucks pulling a trailer lost its transmission. I pulled up in front of them while I was getting chains hooked up, they found this video to get it out of park. Dragged them into a parking lot and made sure they had things figured out on what to do. I'm sure that they were thankful for your video.

They should put something like a recessed handle on it to pull it off. Plus you would know there is something there......for now it seems to be mostly hidden as if they dont want you to see if or know where it is.

1 - More electronic shit WE DON'T NEED 2 - The gear selector dial is in the same place as the transfer case dial on the F-150. Excellent choice, Dodge. This Ford owner accidentally moved the dial to PARK while moving when attempting to disengage 4WD. The good news is the electronics are smart enough to prevent me from buggering the transmission. I do like the newer Dodges and the 8 speed tranny works well. However I'd much prefer the gear stick be a lever.

I keep mistaking it for a radio knob lol. Just did a used car inspection on a Ford Fusion.....guess what type of shifter it had.....yeah, seems its making its way across brands. I still like a shifting in my hands.....doesnt feel right after all these years. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.

You're a ford tech and own a Ram. I am a Ford guy and I am on my second RAM. Anyone who runs down a RAM hasn't taken the time to drive one. They are not Dodge's. Dodge hasn't made a truck since 2008 or so. Watch them continue to rise up. They will pass my beloved Fords in the next 10 years. Lol.

Yes I like the video. Thank you. I have a 14 Ram truck and often thot about just that. If the battery dies, then what? The truck is jammed up in Park. I've heard similar comments from others regarding this issue too. At least Chrysler knew this shortcoming and did build in a remedy. My dealer sure never told me about it.
