well guys, a while back i got in my truck and started it up like normal, let it warm up for a minute then reached down to release my parking brake and i hear a snap. My parking brake lever broke where the tabs hold the actual parking brake cable to release it. SO i had to reach under the lever and pull on the cable itself to release it. Anyone know how much it costs to get a new release lever and how you go about replacing it?

 

You should try and get a free catalog from lmc truck, they have just about every little dodad that comes on the truck.

 

Im thinking this will be a dealer or junkyard only item.

I dont think youll find it at LMC (its not in my catalogue anyway)

 

i looked on LMC truck, i didnt see it, went to dealer and its 25 bucks there so i ordered it.

 

I know by now you've got your lever fixed, but I've just found this site, anyway mine broke last winter, cable broke that heavy-duty piece of plastic, used Gorrilla glue and a quarter inch flat washer, lasted six months, this time it was epoxy and the same washer, been three weeks now.

 

 

well koonta, if ya want i have full pics of my install and im more than happy to send ya the pics of it if you want to go the route of buying a new one.

 

Post em up for a tech article, we need more stuff like this out there for folks to be able to reference to when needed.

 

ok....i gotta try and rethink how i did it...this was in Jan, heres the pics though, will try and re piece how i did the removal and install and type it out tomorrow for ya between the pics.
