As title reads, swapped my 5.7L hemi. Now I have no start but my throttle body responds to the key and I hear the fuel pump priming.
Jumped the starter, starter works
Traced positive power to the fuse box and pcm pcm has power
Starter solenoid works
No power going through starter solenoid and the trucks giving me a code for my transmission solenoid
Any ideas would be appreciated

Make sure you got all your ground wires sounds like the truck doesnt know its in park also the little wire that sides onto the starter that connection/plug goes bad often I always cut it off and replace it so just check that.

It shows circles or squares or whatever around all of the gears, not any specific one no.
