Tranny slips???

So the last couple of times i have parked my 02 f350 crew on a hill front end up high the truck rolls in reverse while its in park. The tranny seems to work fine, never has been really tight but shifts fine in all gears including reverse. Is my tranny about to puke? can i fix this at home any suggestions. I hopefully described it right if not let me try it again... I drive up a shallow hill forwards i stop the truck, put the truck in park (auto tranny) get out, and the truck slowly rolls backwards i jump back in hit the brakes put the e brake on and it is now stopped... any ideas???? thanks in advance

Do you put the e brake on before you let off the regular break?

How far does it roll? Theres a pawl in the trans. that holds the vehicle when in park, maybe it just hasnt grabbed yet if its less than a foot.

Every time whether it is on flat ground or not, in any auto especially my PSD this what I do.

1) Stop
2) Put Trans in N with stopping brake applied
3) Set P Brake with stopping brake applied
4) Let off stopping brake to let P Brake settle
5) Put trans in P

I don't like to let the weight of my truck to set up against the P setting in my Auto trans. Just me.
