More like were backed off the last time the rear end was worked on.

If it's the cable, it's ready to break.

fords cables are known for stretching... both parking and their clutch cables.. but ironically not as fast as the aftermarket ones.. so hoping its just the stars... bad thing is theres not many steep hills for me to test it on when i do...
