Have you or anyone accidentally spilled liquid from the cup holder onto the shifter?

HEEMS

i bought it that way and didnt notice it till lata so im not sure.

Maj. Dundee

Take off the shifter cover and look inside and see if there are any signs of sticky liquid.

Remove the arm rest lid.
Remove stowage box.
Pry off shifter trim.
Remove window switch module.

ive done that and dont see anything the shifter moved back and forth but when u release it it stays on the + side

Maj. Dundee

When you tap the shifter to the negative side and hold it there, does the instrument cluster show the lower gear, but when you release it it returns to the "D" position?

If that is the case you have a problem with the electronic shifter circuit. I you want, you can remove the shifter, disassemble it and clean the board with electronic contact cleaner. I still say there was some spillage before you bought the truck which is preventing proper contact inside the shifter.

HEEMS

yes thats exactly what happens. but also when u release the shifter it doesnt stay in the middle it stays on the + side. will cleaning the circut board fix it? thanx for the pages with the diagram
