Re: 96 Gulfstream parking brake stuck
It is a Sun Sport on Chevy frame with 7.4 gas engine. Made in 95, the old engine version.
I was able to roll around underneath and see that cables are good, and rear cables going to each side move as expected. The thing that is stuck is cable section going from the pedal down near the front wheel. Somehow it is frozen solid, and I am trying to figure out how to get it out.
There is very little space from the inside at driver's position, though I have managed to disconnect it from the pedal, and there is not much I can do there.
Hopefully I will find where it comes out on the engine compartment front, and pull it out, then measure it and get a replacement at a local store.
I am learning, after calling GS, that they don't even know themselves much about my unit, because they just use whatever is at hand at the moment when they build them. So, one day it may be one chassis, then they switch to another, and at that point they only direct you to the OEM, who's going to care very little about such old item. Good thing they are very common items.
Thanks for the input, and I appreciate it.
