If it isn't the shifter linkage then the Parking Pawl in the Transmission has failed.

Yeah, unfortunately it's inside the transmission. I'm not a transmission guy but I think it's in the output shaft (tail shaft) housing.

Ram claims that there is no problems with this and they also refuse to read any comments on line

I had a ford f250 that would roll when in park. The problem with mine was not complex just hard to get to. Behind the dash on the gear indicator there were 2 nuts that were loose and prevented the gear shift from fully being put into park. After being tightened it fixed the problem.
