Emergency brake adjustment

2007 F350 stick, is there an adjustment for emergency brake? looks like the cable got stretched out... I am using it every time.

Somewhere near where the bed and cab meet. There is a spot where the one cable meets a piece of metal connected to two other wires that go to each wheel. You can adjust it here I bet.

I had a cable snap (I use the parking brake all the time with my manual trans) and was surprised to find that there is no adjustment in the cables like so many newer vehicles. You just adjust each rear wheel parking brake like the old drum style. Pull the rubber plug on the backing plate, insert screwdriver and turn the star adjuster.

Here's a bunch of threads on this.
