I was tossing on the stockies for a road trip and noticed that the front wheels didn't stop turning when jacked up. Front's jacked up, trans in park, e-brake on and rear wheels blocked. In my past experience you'd be able to turn the fronts for a 1/2 turn then they'd hit up on the trans and stop. This time I was able to turn either wheel indefinitely. How's that possible?

I'm going to have to park on a hill to test this out.

You're wheels are supposed to turn as long as their turning in oposite directions ;)

Yeah there isn't any trans stop. all that park does is put one wheel in reverse and the other in drive. So if you have 1 of the front wheels on the ground, the other will not really turn, but if you jack both up, then you can turn em. The rears have a parking break to keep them from moving.
