The parking pall on the Allison is tested to hold more than 22,000 lbs against it. While setting the parking brake under a load is recommended, I do not understand how parking on a slight incline would create enough resistance that one would have to set the parking brake before shifting the truck into park? I remember a time on the boat ramp while loading the boat, I had shifted the truck into park and forgot to set the parking brake. After getting the boat (a 29' cruiser) secured to the trailer, the truck shifted out of park with little to no resistance. This with more than 10,000 lbs pulling against the truck/transmission on a steep boat ramp. It is my opinion, but I would have your transmission looked at as something does not seeem right.
