I started a post a long time ago about this and nothing has changed. 4,500 miles now and it still does it. I think most people had the wrong idea of what I meant. I am not talking a HUGE hill, just a very minor incline. Here are some responses to my post about my Truck Rolling Backwards When Pulling From A Stop On A Hill

A lot of the new Auto tranny's do this.. interesting to say the least. My 03 Rubicon does it, my friend's dad's new RAM 2500 Diesal even does it. We had a discussion about it even as he mentioned it out of the blue. It is like they give it no clutch til some gas is applied, intentionally, I would assume it could be adjusted, but interesting so many new vehicles are being set up this way stock from the factory on these ultra modern auto tranny's.

I would think it's easier on the tranny. Probably a good thing guys.

Mine does it, but personally, I'd rather the tranny be free than it keep pulling at a stop. It has to be better for it...seems like it would generate less heat if it's not pulling hard at a stop. Plus if it's pulling hard at a stop at idle, it gets a little annoying in traffic jams.

Let me add - it's never stalled...never.

Mine only stalled once. I was looking at new homes one Sunday afternoon and was in a golf community neighborhood that had VERY steep graded streets. I had driven past a house that I wanted to look at by about 40 feet, and rather than put it in reverse, or turn around, I thought I would take advantage of this 'feature' and just roll backwards down the street. I was rolling backwards (in drive) at a good 10 or 15 MPH. I know everyone is going to say, "Holy crap you dumbass!!!". I knew it wasn't good for it, but what the hell, it's MY truck. Anyway, it cut off. I figured it was better for it to cut off than for be to get up to 60 going backwards in drive.

Long story short, the only time it stalled is when it should have...to prevent further damage. It probably choked the engine pretty good too. No harm, no foul.

Doesn't that float your valves to roll the truck backwards?
