neutral gear select with motor off

[redneck]

ok here is my stupid question is their a way to put the trans in neutral with out the motor running? i have tried key in acc & foot on break . no luck also tried run position then foot on break with motor off no luck. how do you push this thing with the motor off? what it you run out of gas & need to push it off the road.. NO i didnt run out of gas some times i need more room in the front of the garage & dont want to start it to move 1 ft.

No. You have open the ebrake panel and pull the cable

It's always good to at least see if you can find things like this in the owner's manual. This is why it's recommended that a buyer at least skims through the manual when they first buy a new...anything LOL.

Do the Rams have auto park like jeeps do now?

 

[redneck]

yes it will go to park if you shut it off in gear or try backing up with a door open & your foot off the break

Because of the Star Trek guy that was run over by his jeep

Because it's all electronic now. No physical connection between shifter and trans anymore, so you need some kind of mechanical method to put in neutral in case of electrical failure. A lot of vehicles these days are the same way. And yes, it's more complicated than it needs to be, lol.
