I would think the park lock solenoid is going bad and failing under higher temperature conditions.I will assume you are not moving and parking on a grade without using the parking brake properly.

The parts computer lists the part under the name of Auto trans lock control actuator.I looked it up for a c1500 new body style truck.The part # is 26094827 and is under group # 4053.If you give them your vin# you will be able to get the correct part#.If they still don't understand give me your vin# in a pm and I will get you the part number.Also let me know if it's a new or old body style and half or 3/4 ton truck.The picture I gave you does agree with the parts computer illustration so that may help if they let you see a blow up picture of the steering column.
