I have '97 Bravada awd when it is in park it rolls back on a slight hill, does anybody have any ideas ?
The park pawl is engaged but if you hold a little pressure against the vehicle, it will slowly move? I also have the front drive shaft out
getting it repaired. Wonder if that would have any bearing on that?
Thanks Paul

as long as you have a light pressure aginst it will move about 1/4 the movement of a snail

Check the T/C see if it is not working right if it has the two speed one. If it does pull the motor off and then put in to a gear yourself and see what happens then
