So there I was today having my annual truck inspection from the highway patrol. One of the requirements is to put your park in drive, engage the parking brake and the brake has to hold the truck in place. Well when I stepped on the brake I got that awful feeling of the cable snapping and my foot going right to the floor. Long story short I crawled under there and seen where it snapped. right underneath the rear door where the two individual parking brake cables come together and join the other one. There was a long bolt with a nut on it that I'm assuming adjusts the tension placed on each cable. I don't know the technical name for it, and I cannot seem to find a replacement for it on any website. I've only checked Napa and RockAuto.

Does anyone know where to find this piece or what the actual term for it is?
