Only 598,997 mi, parking brakes gave out, thought is was the rear bearing, whew!

On load and did not Wabt to spend the night in San Fran, paid $ 150 to have the parking brakes removed. Wheel chocks will do for now. So much for the Nissan NV 2500. Bummer, Lol...
Can honestly say I have only used a parking break a handful of times in 50 years.

You should use your parking brake more often, especially when being loaded and unloaded by a forklift. This practice could save you from transmission problems later. I always set my parking brake and then put the transmission in Park. When driving off, I put the transmission in Drive and then release the parking brake.
