    I just bought a 1993 Dynasty in otherwise good shape. It's got the Allison 6spd with pushbutton selector, and everything works predictably in Drive and Neutral. When I shift to Reverse, it acts as though the parking brake is applied at least lightly. It doesn't creep at all, and only begins...

    I’m setting up a new toad, a 2024 Ford Bronco, and I would rather not tap into the new-fangled wiring for power to an RVi4 supplemental brake.
