I didn't clean it nor grease, but I did inspect it while the ebrake was pulled. Didn't seem to be moving poorly. Might be worth greasing it though, thanks!! Dang now I wish I would have checked that. I did spray them down with brake cleaner but never roughed them up. I will give this a shot as...

I inspected them as best I could, no ridges or grooves in them. Maybe it would be worth just getting new ones and reattempting. I actually have a new MC coming in this week so I was going to try and dial in the ebrake again. This seems like an easy process but I am wondering if I admit defeat...

Extremely late to my own party..whoops! Lots of good advice here. I live in NM so my turd has zero rust on it. Bell cranks move freely and I even disassembled and greased them. Rear drums had no leaks and auto adjusters moved correctly. Again, everything was lubed and double checked. Rear...

Hey everyone, need more help with my turd gen. E-brake doesnt really do much, basically can move freely with it pulled. I have adjusted the rear brakes, new shoes, greased the bell crank (zero rust and it moves freely), hand adjusted the actual lever and nothing has worked. Comparing it to my...

My cat was stolen so I found some scrap exhaust tubing and welded it in (shout out NM and no emissions testing county). Was there hp gains? No. Does it sound like crap? I don't think so/hardly notice the difference between stock. Downsides? Stinky startups on cold mornings. Positives? Can't get...

Another update, got a cheap second hand roof rack, added some wheel spacers, now looking at lift kits. Chasing some silly maintenance items currently but hopefully will get them ironed out soon. Also thinking a summer project will be painting this old sun faded truck. Can’t decide if I want to...

Is this the arm that translates the movement from the driver side drum to passenger? If so then yes it is Edit* I should also state that it pulls equally (at least I am 99% sure it does)

Hopefully a quick question, i cannot seem to get my handbrake to work. I have gone through almost everything regarding the handbrake setup from the FSM and it will not hold the truck. Now it will "hold the truck" on a completely flat surface but not on an angle. The handbrake is very tight...

I have done this, I cant remember the forum title but it was one of the first things I found and tried. My ABS works fine, as I have taken it down some dirt roads to try and pump out any residual air. So I would like to check that as ok. Any idea what could cause that? Or any way to check the...

Thanks for the links and pictures! The MC was bled using this procedure. I dont have any play in the front wheel bearings as well. Looking through forum posts and 3rd gen mafia facebook posts, it seems like this is has happened to other people. Just no definitive solution that I can find. If it...

Do you have a link? I can never find the FSM for 96-00. All my FSMs have the electronic MC procedures

Rears are adjusted correctly that I know for sure! I didnt know about the check valve. Assuming it is cheap I might just replace it. Brake booster works fine tho, or at least I think it is

Hey everyone, I am having an odd issue with my 99 limited. I bought the truck with soft/squishy brakes. Took it home and replaced the original MC with a new OEM one, bled the brakes got my peddle back or so i thought. When backing out of my garage, the peddle sank like it did before, but if I...

Here’s my current Frank picture. Fading paint had me considering raptor lined fender flares and maybe respraying the body. Not sure but definitely needs spacers and a 2” lift
