    take out the plastic where the shifter is, you will see a cable that is attached to a bracket that has 2 cables going towards the back. There is a nut on the threaded part od the first cable.

    Does this Make sense?

    No, it does not need to be on stands.

    How many miles are on your truck?
    could it be the rear brake are worn?
