    Mine does the same and so have all my cars to different degrees. If your cars rolled backward when in gear they definately had a problem

    What do you expect it was a Chrysler??? But my firebird does slightly. My driveway is probably 35-38 degree incline where you have to park to open the gate to the parking space.

    How many RPM's are you turning? (In Neutral, and in Gear)
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    Mine doesn't really pull, it will roll away on a slight incline, but idle is probably like ten mph.

    I think it's the low gearing. Most other mid size trucks have 3.73 gears or higher it seems. I have been in fullsize trucks with 4.10's and stock tires and they have a slight pull. Our stockers are 4.30's and I run the 4.77's so imagine how much more brake pressure it takes to keep the beast still. That's my theory anyway.
