I took my truck in to the dealership to get inspected (long story), and while I was there I went ahead and had them take a look at the shift to park issue. They called GM, it's a very rare issue, so there is no "official" fix. However, they replaced the shifter (covered under warranty so no cost to me), and I haven't had the issue since. Fingers crossed this sticks!

I have this problem too, so thank you for your posts. The problem had been intermittent, and annoying. And murphy’s law, it didn’t show up when I took the truck to the dealer for the repair; no codes

Any update from GM dealers on this issue? I'm taking my 2019 High Country in tomorrow for the third time. They second time they removed the transmission pan to see if a switch was loose. Nothing. I've shown them this thread, but GM won't give them the go ahead to replace the micro switch. They're waiting for the vehicle to give them a code. Meanwhile I've got 87,000 miles on it. Gonna bring this whole thread and the part number, everything.

2019 Silverado finally got a simple fix for shift to park hasn't done it in a week if you can get to the switch that was pictured above just put some electrical tape on the switch to keep it engaged. I took mine to the dealer and it was gonna be a $900 fix so this is much better on the wallet.

I am having the same issue with my '19 RST. I just dropped it off at the dealership this morning so hopefully I get it back in the next few days. So frustrating, I would jump the switch as other have suggested but shouldnt need to be doing these things on these new trucks IMO so I am letting them dick with it.

Just thought I'd share my quick and easy fix if you are not wanting to run to the dealer or wanting to order a new part. A lot of yall might have one laying around. I pulled off the switch from where it was mounted and used a small zip tie around the micro switch to keep it closed. Have not had an issues since. Bought my 19 TB back in May and this has been an issue since. Hope this helps anyone else!

Stick a paper clip or piece of wire across both sides of the switch.

Looked into it myself after finding this thread.  There is a micro switch under the column that is bad.  I jumped it and the truck shuts off normally. Trying to find the replacement part now.

How did you “jump” this? I have the same problem, except my message won’t go away no matter how many times I shift like previously stated. I have to remove the negative terminals from my batteries to make it stop, but it starts right back after I start and shut off

Stick a piece of wire under the two solder points.  Bend them toward the switch gently if it doesn't stay on its own.

Having the same problem with mine, really annoying and had it a dealer 2 times and they were unable to fix. 

Next time it happens, try this.  Look at the bottom of the steering column by the shifter. You will see an opening big enough to stick your finger.  Put your finger in there and you should hit the micro switch for the shifter.  Usually just touching it made the warning go away, and let the truck shut off.  It's a stupid fix, but short of buying the micro switch listed above, and putting in a new one yourself, it is an easy fix.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
