Emergency Brake Cables

Posted

My passenger e brake started dragging so I got under there and at some point I bent the cable where it goes in the bracket. So I went to order a new one and no one can get them, so I go to Dodge and they tell me both brake cables are discontinued. I hate going to the wrecking yard for parts. Anyone else experience this?

Wow I went to napa and they said they had nothing. Im going to have to pull it and measure though I'm finding all kinds of different length's.
Thanks for looking that up.

 I ran into that to. Not the out of stock issue but the length. They seem to have used several different lengths of cables back there. I tried to measure it once while on the truck. Nearly impossible to get an accurate measurement. 

 Thought about just ordering what I thought was right and take a chance. Being it's a dually I don't want to have to take it all apart 2-3 times for the cable.

I normally pull the cables and bring them in. The only trouble is the 2002 list you have to back up to 2001. Same cables but they list. I use NAPA for most of my common stuff. Since I'm a business I can use NAPA prolink and can order parts myself, all parts are shipped on Tuesday morning.
