Default 03 Ram 1500 4x4, adjust Ebrake?

hey all,

i've searched the forums, but maybe not using the proper word tags, anyway....[:@]

my E brake is slipping, i have a manual tranny so i can't afford to have it roll out my driveway and into the neighbor's back yard...LOL

can i adjust the E brake or do i need to replace the rear brakes all together?

go to a big parking lot. when no one is a round. Go to one end and start going in reverse and get to 10 mph and the clicking the E-Brake on click at a time push it in until you stop or have to use the other brakes so you don't hit anything and then try and see if that helps. It always worked for me when I used to use mine. Good Luck

LOL, I acutally thought about that, i called the dealer and talked to the service manager (good friend over the years) he said that i had to replace the rear brakes, any truth to that?

also noticed your sig pic, you have the same gears as i do in mine, do you have troubles with your seals leaking by any chance?

When you park, put it in gear, then you wont have to worry about it rolling away.
