Transmission
While backing into a parking place at about a 20 degree incline at a restaurant last night my truck would roll forward almost like it was in neutral. I've never had an automatic vehicle do this before. The truck is an 04 stk 4x4 with 4000 miles on it. I just got it back from the dealer for the vibration which was fixed ( only needed different tires). Is the tranny issue normal or do I need to take it back to them ?

That's normal for these trucks. It is due to the torque converters not being locked up in the lower gears. This helps with getting the power to the ground in slippery situations, then the converter locks up to get better mileage.
