Parking brake

wisewelding · Dec 16, 2014

First off hello. I'm new to this site but not new 2 tapatalk. My question. I cannot adjust the parking brakes on my 99 Dodge .. there's no way to tighten it, to engage them fuller ... so if anybody knows how to do this let me know I would appreciate it thank you ... Ken Wise.

P.S. Merry Christmas to all and soon New Year.

Welcome to RF

If you have taken all the slack out of the cable using the adjuster (drivers side by the gas tank) then you have a problem in the drums, worn shoes broken cable.

That's just it I can't see no way to adjust it... I looked all over.. my Lord truck had a turn buckle in front of the 2 cable split. The old trucks are easer to work on in my opinion...

I've adjusted the drums all mechanical mechanisms are working in proper order I just can't tighten the cable. I thought about cutting it and putting in my own turnbuckle in it. but I don't know

You should have this on the drivers side, if you do not then someone has messed with the parking brake cables.
