Question roll back

ok so tonight my neighbor comes knocking on my dorr telling me my truck rolled backwards into the road. its a 94 F150 with a 4.9l I6 with an 11 inch clutch. i never had this problem of the truck until i replaced the clutch and the throwout bearing and slave cylidner was going out. so i started the truck up and now its making this ticking sound in the drive train somewhere in either the transmission or the clutch itself may be wearing out even tho its brand new... any suggestions on what this might be? btw i always block off the truck when im on an incline.

Check ujoints, or might have a stuck lifter from the motor turning backward.

The emergency brake is not just for decoration.

But it takes effort to operate one.

Hey man Now just because some people chrome their pedals does not make it right to make fun of them.

Yes and most people will not even use the search function here. What makes anyone think they will use the e brake?

Reverse doesn't keep the truck from rolling.
