Update: After not having time to mess with it for about a week, I had a buddy help me with my issue.

With two people there, I could get it working in less than 10 minutes.

The problem was my tranny was locked up, and I just had to rock the truck to be able to run through gears again.

It feels dumb that I thought about that when I was stuck, but it was an in and outthought.

With help there, I asked my buddy to shift the tranny from under the truck, and when he couldn’t, I rocked the truck without thought, and boom, I now have a console shifter!!!!

Thank you to all the guys on this forum who helped me while I ran my head into the wall.

I’m grateful for all the help I’ve consistently gotten here without being made to feel like I’m being judged for not knowing something.
