That truck is sliding on ice. That happened to me once. I came home on an icy night parked the truck on the street which is on a slight grade. Next morning I went out and the truck had slid out into the center of the street. My neighbor accused me of having had too much to drink.
Are you parking on an icy hill still?
To be fair, the language used does not explicitly state that the truck was placed in the garage, just that OPs son went into the garage to guide them. They also state that the guiding was to put the truck into a spot clear of snow. If parking in the garage one wouldn't need help finding a spot clear of snow.Happened in his garage as well
I’m assuming that floor was fairly level and dry
You are correct sir. I had to reread the original post. I could’ve swore i read him say something about being pinned against the wall in the garage. Now that has me wondering if he was reversing into the parking spot like the video of the other guy sliding down the hill?? may be having your “anchor” tires on the downhill side would be better. Due to lack of reply from the OP we may never know.
Did the truck slide, or roll?
I can't be 100% sure if all 4 wheels slid or if 2 were turning - back 2 definitely slid based on the tracks in the snow on the drive. I just know that applying the physical brake stopped incident 2 immediately.
Seems like a questionable design to double-lock the back wheels (awl plus parking brake) with nothing locking the front, but, hey, I'm a software guy, not a mechanical engineer.
The way most vehicles have done it. Well, at least before FWD being commonplace, but this is the way trucks have worked since, well, forever iirc.. The parking brake isn't an extra brake, it's a stronger system than the metal tab/pin that is the parking awl.
Wasn't a sheet of ice in my case, was just snow. Unfortunately, the snow was wet enough to compact down but thick enough not to get me to pavement.
