Hm. Interesting. I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm not talking about a
major hill or anything, though, just a slight one (2 or 3 degrees). It's
enough that you can see it, but not enough that the truck will roll forward
on it's own in neutral. Still, maybe that's enough, or maybe it's just a
difference in gear ratio from 1st to reverse? I should look that up and see
if there's anything there.
