I don't believe the spring in the pic is broken. Without it the parking brake pedal will not return to a disenganged position when the release lever is pulled. My springs are missing completely. So, I can engage the parking brake from the cab, but I can't disengage it. I have plans to visit an auto salvage yard tomorrow where there are supposed to be 3 Dodge Ram vans that should have this spring. If I'm lucky I'll get 2 usuable ones. If I do I'll try to post pics of it both on its own and installed.

I haven't located this spring either. My truck is a 2001 Ram 2500 with a NV5600 and HO Cummins. It sucks not having a functional parking brake, especially in a cold weather state with an inclined driveway. I recently learned this spring may have been used in some other Chrysler vehicles. The details on the spring and the other vehicles you might be able to get it from at your local junk yard below. Here's the info I found about the spring: Original Part Number = 05010008AA. Seen on Mopar websites listed as: -Spring. Right or Left. Parking brake cable: 5010008AA -05010008AA = parking brake tension spring. Or 5010008AA. My local dealer says discontinued in 2015.
