I didnt used to use the parking brake. But on a previously owned automatic trans pickup the transfer case broke going up hill in snow, on paveent. Had chunk of wood in back to hold vehicle., because parking brake didnt work. On the vehicles we have now, the kids have pulled shifter out of park on a hill and the vehicle rolled down into a trash pile. Could have been lots worse. Shifter on autoatic pickup acted up right after I got it and we couldnt get it in P_ark, always set the paking brake. The brake depress switch on that pickup has been disabled now s oit easily coes out of gear. Manual trans pickup: never set the parking brake so they rusted solid after5 years, then over the next 14 years the cables broke off by the drus.Its not good to start te ngine and shut off when I backed up to the trailers i have on a hill, so i replaced the cables with new from carquest, under $30 and easy to do once you think about it. Use the parking brake all the tie now. RANDAL
