parking for MANuals

you leave it in neutral and pull e break or leave it in 1st?

 

I leave mine in gear and do the hand brake

 

mines in neutral with no e brake. my yards is pretty level

 

Reverse into spot, put in neutral, pull the brake, put in 1st. It's a habit.

 

my brake isnt really strong so i normally dont put it on

 

1st and ebrake.

 

When I had my '95.5 (manual) this is what I did.

 

Reverse and e brake . Reverse is usually the lowest gear within the transmission and less chances of rolling the truck when the motor is off . First gear and e brake is also a good choice depending on the transmission ratio . Have seen guys leave large trucks in 5th gear with e brake on and the truck will roll if on a small incline.
If you are parked on a roadway , point the front tires in the direction of the curb . This way if the truck does roll ,it will roll until it hits the curb and stop or simply go into the ditch . If tires are pointed out and someone hits you from behind , the truck will roll into oncoming traffic
