Hopefully some GM expert can explain.

Parking pawls are in transmissions that are installed in vehicles under a certain weight class. They are not sufficient to hold heavy vehicles (like motorhomes) in position and are not part of the heavy truck transmission. I was a process engineer at Hydra Matic for 20 years part of that time on the 4l80 team.
Here is a thread on transmission that discusses which vehicles have a 4l80 thm without parking pawls.
