Hi All,
Don't get to the group much anymore, but am looking for some opinions/advice.
'95 half-ton, ext. cab, short box, 5.7. 144.5" wheelbase, mfg. date
6/95.
The entire e-brake system needed to be replaced. It worked perfectly for 10 years, but alas, she works no more.
I am having a B-R-U-T-A-L time finding the right cables. I had to use a Napa cable on the front, and Advace-Auto Cables on the rear, which were Raybestos. They are not a readily stocked item at the dealer.
I also had to install a new adjuster/equalizer, BUT, it appears as if the cables are way to long. There's way too much slack in the system.
Does anyone know if this model year used left overs from '94, or if there was something wierd about the cable system?
Some say the front cable is the same for all the wheelbase measurements, others say differently.
The rears appear to be the same size, EXCEPT the spring part on the brake end is way longer.
I can't ascertain for sure if the new front is the same as the old, as it busted off all over the road, and I don't have it, so I can't measure, etc.
Now even worse, I have no RPO code sticker in my glovebox, so I can't even tell which braking system I have.
Before I go my dealer and beg for mercy, anybody have any ideas?
Thanks Rick
