If you are parked on a hill, you may be experiencing problems with the parking pawl.

You might notice that when you park on an incline, your truck rolls a little after you put the transmission into P and release the brake foot pedal. What is happening is that the weight of the entire rig is resting against the parking pawl. This can make it almost impossible to get the transmission shifter out of park when you are on a hill. The best solution is to put the parking brake on before you shift into P, and then when you want to leave, put your foot on the brake pedal and then release the parking brake.

But that doesn’t help when you are stuck. One thing you can try is to get some help from a few friends by pushing the H3 up the hill a little bit, that should take some the rig’s weight off the parking pawl and allow you to get back into Drive.
