I was always told to never winch in park for fear of breaking the parking paw
Had a driver at my old employer who actually did this also had one that after all was said and done he couldnt get the truck out of park. Went to dealer and they said the truck wasnt covered under warranty because we used it wrong |

If the parking pawl broke, then the emergency brake was not functioning properly. If the brake is working properly, there would be no strain on the pawl at
all.

My only automatic is my rollback so I usually just put it in park and put the bed on the ground. If I think it is gonna be a heavy / hard recovery for the
truck ie.. suburban, F-250 etc.. I will put the truck in N then set the brake then put truck back in Park plus set bed ....HARD.

always winch against your wheel chocks, never your trans. i always put truck in park with e-brake on.
If you won't lead, let me by you. If you
won't follow, get out the way. YOUR JUST TAKING UP SPACE!
