'98 blazer ls. The other day I went to put my truck into park and it wouldn't. The shifter moves very loosely up and down an is not shifting. any ideas what happened? I have no experience with messing with the steering column.

Sounds like you might have broken the shift cable that runs from the steering column down to the transmission.
