Park Brake

Had some work done to make the park brake function. Pushing the brake on hard seems to have no real effect. I hear the park brake on these trucks are a poor design. Is there a solution or just put up with it? I did a search of the threads but nothing obvious showed up.

Something is definitely wrong with your parking brake. Ensure both cables are pulling from the split. You may need an adjustment. My ‘05 holds strong with trailers on hills and I have a ZF6 so it’s pretty important to me it works.
