I rotated my tires today and decided to tackle this hand brake adjustment. My handle has gone all the way to the top of the available travel only engaging the parking brake near the top and never enough to hold the truck on any type of incline, it’s been like this since buying the truck new in 2021.
It appears that my handbrake shoes were dragging just as
@bloc said that they should so this led me to the cable under the cup holders. Inspecting that showed that the nut was about 3 threads down on the adjustment bolt and I could wiggle it wildly when the handle was in the down position. I tighten it up and now have a parking brake that works. Looking at
@kcjaz last picture showing his cable adjustment nut leads me to believe that mine may have never been adjusted from the factory as mine has about half the amount of threads showing.
I’m going to chalk this up to Covid lockdown assembly issues and hope that’s my only example of it.
