parking brake thread
Is there a thread here that goes into any real detail about possible remedies for the execrable parking brake in these trucks (at least in my XL 6.8l 6-speed)?

Everyone else who has a 1999- 2011 SD manual transmission has a parking brake that works well? Mine won't hold the truck (2004 F250 XL CC LB V-10 6-speed) reliably when in neutral in my driveway, which is just barely on a grade (my guesstimate is ~0.8%). It has been like that since the truck was brand new.

Mine is adjusted pretty tight and I park mine on some pretty nasty places idling to run the winch. 2010 super duty.

Swerving suggestion and although we missed it, a good stocking stuffer....

Those work well, but they don't satisfy the requirements for a parking brake for a state safety inspection, if he lives somewhere that does that.
