Now Mike if had said a goose sound I would have known exactly what you were talking about. Never thought about comparing it to an organ though.
Where the parking brake is there is a little reid type switch, push that switch in and you will hear the sound and the parking brakes set.

How did you disconnect the alternator?
If you just removed the main wire off of it make sure you tape it good so it can't arc.
Try to get it started, if you can just drive it up the ramps, if you can't start it I would recommend using the deuce for the obvious reasons.
Yes your half ton...
Oh, the technical term would be step deck most likely.
Look something like this?
Getting it up the ramps is going to be the challenge.
Now instead of trying to pull it up, have you considered pushing it with the deuce? That would honestly be a better option than using a 1/2 ton, even...

Also, there is a way to bypass the black box for emergency situations. I'll see if I can...

Now when you get it all running it might be a little sluggish going but it will...
I edited my post with the info. It is FM 20-22 Vehicle Recovery Operations. Phone autocorrected to tm for me.

Need help(information) to flat tow M931A2
Undo the cage if you are going to tow it with the deuce and hook up air lines, you will need the brakes.
