Hard to put in park.

sounds like they installed the shift selector switch wrong, breaking the plastic tabs off the inside of the selector switch.. you'll need a new one for it to work properly.. or it may need adjusting. to install one put the tranny in neutral then slide the selector switch on.

HUGE +1. Good call!

Didn't even think of that since he said it hard a hard time getting there...and I was thinking more about the cable binding somewhere.

The shift selecter switch is the black plastic "Prindle" switch on the driver's side of the tranny that the gear selector arm comes out of. It is not easy to remove or install this part while your tranny is in your truck. But if you wanna tackle it--Block the truck's tires, put the truck in Neutral, and take the shifter cable off as done previously. Take the 13mm nut off that holds the metal arm that the end of the shifter cable clips on to. Make sure to take a mental picture of how it goes on. Then wiggle the metal arm off. Unplug the wiring harness. Next, unbolt the (2) 13mm bolts that hold the Prindle switch to the tranny. Wiggle the entire Prindle switch off the gear selector shaft that goes into the tranny. Once it is off, take a good look at the part where the gear selector shaft slides throught the Prindle switch--at about the 2 o'clock position, there should be two tick marks on the plastic. Take your pinky finger or a pencil and rotate the part where the metal shaft goes through the Prindle switch so that the two tick marks line up exactly. Make sure the truck is still in the Neutral position and slide the Prindle switch back on and reassemble.
