I just picked up an F150 4x2 with 141K on it. It has a tendency to lock into park. Even if I put it in neutral, set the parking brake, take my foot off the brake and then put it into park, it will some times lockup and I have to rock the rig to break it loose. ???

neutral saftey switch?

and make sure that you hit that brake when you shift into park.

 

I have an owners manual on its way, which would have saved us all a little bit of time. My mechanic told me to stand on the brake pedal. If you just feather it enough to keep it from moving as you shift it, the release doesn't. I have to be very agressive on the brake pedal and it comes out of park just fine. Mechanic says that is a fairly easy adjustment.

He didn't say anything about holding the brake when going INTO park. ???

well, you don't have to hold the brake before going into park, but you should be stopped (foot on brake) or the tranny will make a nice clicking sound until it stops abruptly.....
