Go on to an empty street, get up to about 40mph and SLAM on the brakes.... go look at your tire marks and compare them ! lol... may work, may not but I think it will !
Slip while in park!?
Hello, I'm new to this forum and hope someone can help. I have a great 2005 Titatn Crew cab LX 4x4. Love it.
I just came back from a Christmas party and had the scare of my life. We are in PA and there is about an inch or hard packed ice and snow on the ground. My wife and I rolled up to our friends house and parked on his still icy blacktop driveway (he was too lazy to clean it off) and parked on a rather steep slope, facing up hill. I put the Titan in park, applied the parking brake, then went inside.
Three hours later I took a look outside and the TITAN WAS GONE! I ran outside, but wait, there it is. About 15 feet lower down the driveway to where it starts to level off! No, I was not drinking.
As I studied the Titan and where it now was, sure enough, there were no footprints coming out of the drivers door. Thank goodness no one was parked behind me.
Ok, here is the really strange part, studying the tire tracks, it didn't look like the tires just locked up and the entire truck slipped down the hill. It actually looked like the wheels rotated. It this possible? I didn't even think it would slide on this steep of a hill, but it was defininetly moved. And it almost looks like since it was slipping the wheels were rotating backwards as to control the slide.
Is this possible? Am I going insane? My mind is spinning. Help.
