Ok so I noticed today on my 2001 2500 NV4500 they is I park on a average hill and put it in reverse (not using the E brake because of the other issues) the truck will coast and then it feels like the clutch grabs and it continues to do that. Anybody else experience this?

In "the old days" you parked uphill and left it in 1st, parked downhill, left it in reverse.

That's what I did. The nose was downhill and I put it in reverse and it would drift about a foot and the grab. Kept doing that so I just shoved a chunk of wood under the tire.

If that's the case, your clutch is slipping.

I couldn't see how though everything was new, except the flywheel but it wasn't blued or anything.

Could also be the engine has low compression.
