So I’ve seen some YouTube videos about the issue and seen some post on here about it so I thought I’d share my experience.

It’s most noticeable when hitching to a trailer but I think I’ve found a work around. If you go to neutral for just a brief pause before goi g to park there is 0 movement even without the parking brake applied. I use this method as well when parking in my garage. I pull in and put the truck into reverse to see the door seal line and typically leave less than a foot. I then go to neutral prior to goi g to park and it doesn’t move the couple of inches it does without doing this.

Going to neutral prior to reverse or drive briefly keeps the 1-2 inch occasional leech from happening for me too.

Question for our diesel brothers. Does the 6.7 behave this way as well or just the 7.3?
 
The new 10 speed is definitely quirky and have used this method as well. I think by putting in into neutral first, its neutralizing the stored up energy in the drive line?

My truck also occasionally lurches on startup, while in park....
