just adding to the pot of things to think about??????

Na, unfortunately my ebrake has not worked since I bought the truck in 05. I started replacing all the cables one at a time but never finished it. Got distracted with other things.

I just did the brakes in September for inspection and have not driven it all that much until about two weeks ago when one of our cars died. Then it became my daily driver. Now its my daily PITA!!!
