I looked down and I had forgotten to put it back in park. The truck was already running. I know that some 5spds can do this but is it ok for a D1 with AT?   Brian Friend (Brianfriend) Senior Member Username: Brianfriend Post Number: 1048 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 05:15 pm:    James, That sounds really weird. Can you duplicate that?   James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 331 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 05:35 pm:    Yes, I can walk out to my truck, put it in 1st, start it and if I don't have my foot on the brake, the truck starts and begins forward motion.   Peter Matusov (Pmatusov) Senior Member Username: Pmatusov Post Number: 814 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 07:02 pm:    that's awesome, James.
