I bought a 1999 2500 / Cummins 5.9, Quad Cab, 8' bed recently with a few issues. I got the engine running and replaced all the brakes (Rotors & Pad up front, Drums, Shoes, & Wheel cyls in the back). The parking brake didn't work when I bought the truck and it still does not work. * I have checked and double checked both rear brakes for assembly errors and found none. * I performed the rear drum brake adjustment with the parking brake cable very loose * I have tried to follow the cable adjustment procedure in the 1998 & 2001 factory service manuals but they really don't make sense. The procedures are essentially the same in the two manuals. Both say; Mark the tensioner rod 1/4" from the edge of the tensioner, tighten the adjusting nut until - (2001) the mark is no longer visible or (1998) the mark moves into alignment with the tensioner bracket. The relative position of the mark on the tensioner rod to the tensioner or tensioner bracket does not change. Also, the manual is very clear that this is a one time adjustment only, it should never be used to adjust the parking brake to compensate for wear. I purchased a Dorman brake cable adjuster (shortener) but the cables in this truck appear to be approximately 2 inches to long (longer than the Dorman adjuster can compensate for). With the OEM tensioner nut tightened all the way the park brake pedal goes all the way to the floor without applying the parking brake. I've removed the parking brake pedal assembly but can see no problem. I suspect that a previous owner may have installed a wrong cable. Is there a listing of the correct length cables for the front, intermediate, rear right, and rear left parking brake cables? Can anyone explain the correct procedure to adjust the cables following a brake job? I have attached a file showing the 1998 & 2001 adjustment procedures. Thanks! Park brake adjustment.pdf
