Ok, so, wife and I get home from dinner last night and go to park our truck in our incline sloped driveway. After engaging the park brake, putting it in park, and letting off the brake it started rolling or sliding backwards…
My first thought was “damn, it’s icy!” BUT why the heck would it hold itself in place until I took my foot off the brake THEN start moving while in park with the parking brake engaged? Unfortunately, I didn’t think to get out and see if it was rolling or sliding so I can’t say which was actually occurring… Just parked it on flat ground in front of the house and called it a night.
Is it possible that the front tires had traction while the rears were on ice, causing it not to hold once off the foot brake? Or maybe the slight motion of the truck settling back after letting off the brake causing it to slide?
Going to see if I can recreate today but don’t know if it’s still as slick as it was last night.
