E-brake/parking brake question

[bgfire]

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.

The E-brake pedal assembly is problematic.
It has a "self-adjustment" feature, as it winds the cable to the proper tension, before you apply the e-stop.
This assembly cost about $80, to my poor recollection.
Trouble is caused by allowing the E-Brake pedal to snap to the up position when the release is pulled.

I can only guess that this your problem!

Thanks for the input.

I'll have to take a look at that tomorrow. I may just have to replace the unit.

I'll let you know.
