parking brake

Does anyone know the ford part number for the linkage between the front and rear parking brake cables? Mine is missing, and I can't get my truck to pass safety inspection without the part. The autoparts stores around here don't carry it.

Also, if anyone know what I should call that part when I call the dealer, please let me know.

I have an 88 F250 4WD 381W. I just redid the rear brakes and oil seals, and I can't seem to get the parking brake to work. The thing won't spring back to the disengaged position (the light stays on and the pedal is on the floor). Also, I can't get enough tension to keep the truck from rolling in gear with the brake on.

Right now I have jury rigged an eyebolt to the 'tensioner' that used to be on the truck. But, I don't know what should cause the pedal to release (a spring?).

Thanks

1980/89 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog ~ Parking brake cable illustration: Section 26; page 2. Text: Section 23.2 / Parts list 2C. There are four parts where the front and rear brake cables connect.


If the parking brake will not catch, you'll have to replace the entire foot pedal assembly. Ford sold no internal parts for it.

Note: Ford updates part numbers. Give your dealer the references I listed above.

C8AZ-2091-A .. Adjuster nut

E0TZ-2A602-A .. Equalizer

D6TZ-2A651-A .. Equalizer Spring

E3TZ-2K389-B .. Parking Brake Adjuster

E4TZ-2760-B .. Parking Brake Foot Pedal Control Assy.
