E-brake Cable

Just out of curiosity has anyone else snapped the e-brake cable. Mine snapped right up by the pedal. I use it everytime I park so the truck is resting on the brakes instead of the tranny (just a habit I picked up over the years), so it probably gets a whole lot more use than normal, but still... that is a big *** cable to snap.

Anyways, since I am going back to the dealer I am going to get the latest flash, whatever that is. I skipped all of the injector purging flashes, and haven't been on much so I don't know what they're doing now.

Also going to have the front windows replaced...does anyone know that TSB of the top of their head?

And some of the paint on my dash is starting to chip and is pissing me off, has anyone else had that issue?

Finally, does anyone know a mod friendly dealer in Orlando?

I snapped the cable on my 01 right at the end where it goes into the e-brake pedal assembly.

I always use the e-brake too.....habit from driving manual transmission trucks.

Both mine and my dad's '03 6.0L has one wire frayed off the e-brake cable. Looks exactly the same on both so I guess they will go eventually. His has 68k and mine is at 72k.
