My parking brake is an emergency brake. If I pull it, it will stop the truck, but that's it. Once on, it will take some work to get it disengaged. For those of you in the salt belt reading this post, you should be aware that your brake may very well stick on and not release if you go to check the number of "clicks" you have. That's fine in an emergency. If I have no brakes and I am hurtling out of control, I'm perfectly willing to seize my e-brake. Otherwise, the parking pawl works fine for parking on inclines.
For you 91/92 owners, hurtling would be going really fast, in your case down a steep hill.
