For those of you who may replace your PB’s (and rear brakes), this is my “Road Map to...

    What's this ?

    Need help identifying this hanging from my truck. Never noticed it before and seems awfully loose. Looks like I can tighten it. Seems odd that it would loosen up out of the blue.

    Hi Ram Forumers, I need to replace the rear right parking brake cable on my 2003 quad cab 3500. But Rock Auto lists multiple ones of differing length. My wheelbase is 140.5", but they list the standard cab as 140.5" and the crew cab as 160.5". No mention of quad cab. My approximate length...

    Hey all, This is a new one for me... I have never even heard of this happening to others. I got in my truck this morning to move it around my driveway, and the parking brake lever is stuck in the "Up" position. I use my parking brake every day, as to not apply unwanted extra strain on the...

    Ram 3500 parking brake cable pulls loose at splice connection?

    My parking brake cables break loose at the splice connection under the truck when I apply the parking brake. As soon as I tighten the cables enough to for the E-brake to work and stop the truck, the cable usually pops out of the splice connection. I have squeezed the splices with vice grips to...

    Parking Brake Issues / Improvements?

    My MY2015 1500 has a sagging parking brake cable and a warning light that will randomly come on (even with brake physically disengaged).
