[QUOTE="x1Heavy, post: 7318148, member: 178676"]If you have a truck that is supposed to stay put on any grade with brakes (Parking) applied and she starts to inch downhill anyway, throw chocks on the drives. Most if not all your brakes are out of adjustment. If you have auto slack adjusters get off your parking brake quickly stomp your service brakes (Primary and secondary air be ######) 7 times and reapply parking brake. That should quickly stop that inching downhill for the moment but does not really solve the problem you now have. IF she continues to inch... you are not going to be staying there no more. Get off that grade and have the shop send you a technician road call to get under your truck and see about all those brakes on flat ground.[/QUOTE]
