KLS,

That sounds about like what I was imagining it looked like inside. I got "brave?" last night and stepped on the parking brake about 50 times in a row. 25 to apply, 25 to release. It seems like the truck stops better now but maybe that is just my imagination. If the rears were way out of adjustment then it seems like the fronts would be doing more work which would not be conducive to long pad life, so again that doesn't really make sense to me why I am not having problems. Must be living right? I will listen for the clicking sound when I get a chance. The parking brake did firm up quite a bit after 25 applications, think it is adjusting the brakes like it is supposed to.

I know about the TSB, I would most likely have to pay for it and have read so much about the horror storys at the dealer that I think I will just wait until I actually have a problem instead of creating one. Will have to pay for it anyway. Guess I need to get it up on jack and look inside and see what is happening.

Thanks for the intel though!

Happy Hauling,

Doug
