Good to know. What part of it exactly broke? I think I have to change the shoes out for it. Doesn't wanna grab anymore and I've adjusted all the way. Hope the cables haven't stretched..

It was a piece of the peddle assembly in the cab. Can't tell you exactly as I didn't change it. If you search here there a couple of very good write ups on repairing the assembely.

I had a parking brake cable fail and rust solid. It wasn't hard at all to replace. But then had it start to rust up again. So pull that cable out hung it and feed oil from one end to the other now it work absolutely perfect. Soft pedal locks the rear tires up to a skid when I plant that parking brake.

My cable has stretched but still holds just enough.
