just replaced the left rear e-brake cable, only to learn that the cable from the pedal back must have gotten stretched and there are no adjustments for this. I have adjusted the brakes with the star wheel so that is all good. Looks like the only fix for this is to replace the front cable.
Any tricks for this issue or do I just replace the cable?
Where the left rear cable meets the rights rear cable there is an adjuster. But all this adjuster does is make the left and right cables the same length. The cable from the from goes to either the left or right rear wheel. Then another cable branches off at the adjuster and goes to the other wheel. I quess you can call the adjuster a synchronizer
Yes that is what I found out today and was disappointed that there are no other adjustment locations. The front cable from the pedal back is too loose and there is no way to adjust it all that can be done it replace it or put a turn buckle in it so it can be adjusted
My old 60 chevy had a adjuster on it. Just seems crazy our trucks have nothing to compensate for stretched cables other than replace them. Oh well guess it is what it is.
my 06 has that adjuster as well and adjusted my cable.
