Truck moves when put in park with Emergency Brake engaged

[b1lanc]

Not sure what sub-forum this might fit in. I've noticed this since day one when trying to line up the gooseball with the Goosebox. On flat and level ground the truck will move maybe an inch or less - sometimes forward and sometimes back. This happens with or without the emergency brake engaged and I then have to re-adjust to drop the hitch. But, this also happens in my garage on a slab with nothing attached. I have very little room front to back in the garage bay so I try to get as close to the wall (backing in) as possible. Putting the truck in park, it has rolled both forward at times and back - even bumping the wall on occasion with the Emergency Brake engaged. I've never had any vehicle 'relax' after putting in park and taking the foot off the brake pedal. Anyone else experienced this? I would have thought there would be no movement with the e-brake engaged but there is nearly every single time. The E-brake is fully functional otherwise.
Thanks,
John

That’s fairly normal for most every automatic transmission vehicle I’ve driven.

I shift to N, engage the parking brake, then shift to P. That keeps it from moving.

That's what I have started doing - just to let it settle into where it wanted to be - seems to have worked.

I started noticing this when they went from drum to rear disc brakes. ( yea I'm that old). I also engage the e brake prior to putting it into park.

I've found when backing up to hitch up that when I get the ball aligned, I'll put it in drive, then in park, then engage the parking brake and it doesn't roll.

It's mostly due to drivetrain torque loading up the suspension, and then it setting when you release the brakes. You can see this just by holding the brakes and pressing the gas a little bit when you're stopped. The truck will raise up a bit, then settle back down when you let off some brake pressure.

My 2022 and now my 2024 2500 does the same As others had mentioned, if I take it out of drive (or reverse if I was backing) and unload the torque on the suspension before I put it in park, it doesn’t move. I have to remember to do that every time I line up to the ball of my trailer.

Mine does that. I always worried I'd hit the wall in the garage because I have to pull in to within about an inch from the wall. I'll have to try the putting into neutral thing.

Man I love lots of torque!
