Hi,

Has anyone adjusted the parking brake on their 2002 X as yet. Mine is in need of some tightening and thought I would check here 1st.

Why does the brake cable need adjustment after 7900 miles. Well we have a driveway on a 45 degree angle and brake gets slammed everytime.
No putting the truck in gear won't stop it from moving. I actually put it in 1st one day without the brake and it was turning the motor!!!.

Thanks, Ekh.

The adjuster should be along the frame rail under the passenger front door. 2 nuts, one is the locknut, the other the adjuster. Pretty simple to do.

My cable needed adjustment at around 7,500 miles too. Maybe just new cable stretch?
