What did you do to the expy today

[bearss07]

Got the parking brakes all done a couple days ago. They hold in drive or reverse without the gas pedal pressed, but not good facing down hill. Oh well.
Also changed the front diff fluid, not much space there. It was gray, but no pieces of metal. Probably original like the rear was, has 120K on it.

These ebrakes are marginal at best. Top that with you can't tighten the adjusters snug like I did with other drum brakes, and you've got a rolling hunk of metal on your hands. Most of the other forum members say theirs are on the weak side also. Does anyone's first edition e brake hold strong?

Don't think I've ever tried mine.

Yea E-brakes are pretty much useless on our trucks.

Hey Tom, I thought Colorado had hills like San Fran? How do you get to the 5200 ft part. It's uphill, then downhill. Just messin.

Yeah, my 95 Grand Cherokee is about the same way. Works fine facing uphill, down, not so much.

so i guess there's nothing really wrong with mine then ??? on a slight hill it doesn't really hold
Be better if i cut hole in floor pan and do it like Fred Flintstone LMAO

Got the expy stuck in a foot deep mud today on all 4 tires. Thankfully 4Low pushed it out like a champion.
