    Not only that but e brake in snow, take a 1/2" PVC pipe 2" long, slit down the side, pull e brake release and then slide pipe over cable holding the release open. Then you have a drift truck in the snow haha, used to do that all the time

    Haha my ebrake cable came off somehow so I went to fix it and and ended up taking out all the shoes and such just because they were being difficult and were super worn. Never got around to replacing them lol

    Nope. Nothing inside my rear brakes for the ebrake. All the drums and springs were all rotted and not working so I just took em out. My driveway is steep and I never use my ebrake and i never have problems.

    yeah i like to use my E brake when i park on an incline. got the rotor off and the E brake ripped out, everything was scraped to hell from bouncing around. rotors are pretty worn and pads have about 1/4 life left. adding a brake job to the list of shat to replace :jester:

    and a purdy picture of the truck on jackstand lol...

    Yea good call, it's worth having an e brake and easier to replace everything at once
