E-Brake Adjustment
I've tried searching but no luck, I'm wondering how to adjust the e-brake. Mines not holding the truck on inclines.

Thanks - Glenn

This is where it's at on mine, but I have a 350 DRW. There is a small rubber plug and a adjuster wheel behind it.

It is the same as adjusting a drum brake. Jack it up and turn the adjusting wheel until it just starts to drag and you should be goood to go.

If yours looks the same, rotate the adjuster up with a flat tip screwdriver you should feel it geting tight.
