The emergency brake doesn’t hold on my truck. It’s two-wheel-drive. Is there any way to adjust it? Thanks.

Just to be clear, my truck is a 2002 Ford F250 with 2-wheel drive.

thanks for the reply, but this link addresses parking brake adjustments for 1997-98 trucks. :frowning: I need to make an adjustment to my emergency brake for a 2002 truck. Thank you anyhow. :slight_smile:

Many people call the parking brake an emergency brake. If you have ever tried using that brake in an emergency, you will know why it is more properly call a parking brake.

Maybe if you could give us your definition of a “parking brake” and an emergency brake and the difference.
