Well, I am happy to have a functioning parking brake system again, I tested it earlier today.
The equalizer nut number of turns specified in the manual, could not be taken literally in my case.
That might be based on the original factory OEM set up. I have new cables and threaded rod which might be a slightly different spec or length.
The tension I dialed in is pretty tight. The pedal is harder than before. Man.....when you engage the parking brakes on my truck, you ain't going nowhere. Those brakes are locked TIGHT! And when you pull the release lever....BAM...that pedal
slams open. I'm thinking about backing off the adjusting nut. Or maybe I'll just leave it as is. Thanks Ron and friends.
