E-brake/parking brake question

I was wondering if anybody else out there has trouble with their E-brake holding when applied?

I always park with my truck in gear when it is shut down, but the e-brake is nice when you stop for just a moment.

I have checked pretty much everything on the system, and can find nothing wrong. I don't know of any adjustments to the e-brake itself. I know you can adjust the rear service brakes, but they are in adjustment.

When I apply the e-brake pedal, it usually goes to the floor with no resistance. If I step on the clutch, I can feel the truck creeping back (or forward). Once in a great while it will actually engage properly.

Any help would be great.

Bill
