E brake/parking brake, which one is right for my truck.
Hi guys and girls, I am having a lot of trouble getting the correct cables to fit my truck. I have a 1997 2nd gen extended cab (2 doors, 6 seats) with a short bed. The old cable had 5 pieces that made it up, 1 from the pedal, a short extender with joining bits, adjuster and the 2 pieces that went to the rear wheels. I have ordered several sets and none of them fit correctly I always seam to be either to long or to short when I try to match them up at the adjuster. Can someone help me out with the correct part numbers so I can get the correct set as being on the other side of the pond it's getting a bit expensive ordering the wrong ones.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

Hi AtomicDog, I have no idea as the originals were rusted so badly that they disintegrated as I was trying to remove them and have been thrown away a long time ago. I have had to make it work but my MOT (our version of your DOT) inspector is getting fed up telling me to get it sorted. I have been to O'riely's and Kapa and come back with different sets that dont fit. From what I can tell the front cable is the same on all models and it's the rears that are different lengths wit the small cable just to make up the difference from a standard cab to the extended cab.
Cheers,

I am having same trouble w my 2500. My original setup did not have the xtender cbl in thr but seemed to wk fine so that is puzzling. Got the raysbestos cbl that is supposed t b correct on rear right but it is coming up 4 er 5" short of reaching the front cbl. What ended up happening in your situation?
