if you know someone with a lift, get it up in the air and take a good look. it should be immediately obvious which end or which cable has failed. i think you will find there are two cables in the rear which meet one coming from the front at a central threaded rod adjuster. common for them to become rusted and break at pivot points, swivels, backing plates. it is not unknown for an independent muffler shop to put your vehicle up on a lift and let you take a quick look for 10 bucks or so.

you will need to remove the wheels and drums check ebrake cables and brake shoes, make sure the arms are connected and not frozen and also brakes are adjusted correctly,most times its a bad cable or frozen hardware to the ebrake. hope this helps.

under the car/truck the cable if your truck has 4 wheel disc brakes then the parking brake my be self adjusting / with parking brake shoes in the new style there is an adjustment on the back wheels

The cable has to be the correct tention.Tighten the cable with the wheels jacked up and tighten untill cable is tight and brakes are not binding.You may think the cable on these cars are tight enough but the nipple on the cable will pop out if its incorectly adjusted.

Generally this cable is mounted to the firewall with a two bolt housing and continues to the parking brake pedal. It must foirst be removed from the splitter in the rear in order to remove it from the slot in the pedal.

The adjustment would be on the cable themselves. They should be full extended before inserting them. For a free full online repair manual for your truck, go to autozone.com, register for free and view your repair manual

not adjusted correctly , sould be able to adjustswitch under hand brake boot

Loosen the cable nut at the rear brake, pull the cable until the tension is tight, then tighten the cable nut. Since the parking brake only operates on the rear brakes, your rear pads may be too worn causing the parking brake not to hold. Check the pads first to see if they need to be replaced. Also, the parking brake cable can stretch or break over time. Verify that isn't case since you may need to install a new cable rather than adjust it.

The rear drum brakes:

• Have internal shoes that expand against the brake drum (1126).
• Are a single-anchor type.
• Are actuated by one rear wheel cylinder (2262).
• Have two pistons in the rear wheel cylinder (2261). One exerts force against the upper end of the primary shoe; the other exerts force against the upper end of the secondary shoe.
• Adjust rear brake shoes and linings (2200) automatically.
• Need manual brake adjustment if the adjusters are not operating properly or after the rear brake shoes and linings have been replaced.

When the brake pedal is applied, hydraulic fluid pressure forces the pistons in the rear wheel cylinder outward, moving the rear brake shoes and linings against the brake drum.
The rear drum brake system includes the parking brake mechanism. Refer to Section 206-05 .
