Can you park truck on uneven ground?

No. Cars are designed to be parked and driven in all kinds of terrain and locations. Nope, unless you’re leaving it there for years at a time you’re all good. Side to side differences do not stress the body like having one wheel higher than the other 3 does.

Is the emergency brake on my Dodge Ram working?

My 2003 dodge ram emergency brake is not working. I push the pedal down and there is zero resistance.

Why does my Dodge Ram 6 speed freeze?

Unfortunately the cable actuated parking brake on my 6 speed sometimes freezes when it’s applied which can lead to me needing to lay underneath the truck and melt everything with a heat gun.
