SUPER-DUPER Brian! Time flies and ~> amazing timing... as, YES, this evening - about an hour ago, I got the right-rear cable out. So now I have both left and right rear out and have decided to leave the front cable which i might have ordered from rockauto (155.5 inch for 8 foot box extended cab) IF it didn't seem like i'd really get slowed down with all else I'm doing. I'm pretty ambitious and just as slow to decide on stuff. I'm saying there's so many small details that might be helpful to mention... I think about posting pictures and then there's actualy doing it with how nuts everything is time-wise. Hey, fact is, I still don't know if I have non-removable pad or removable pad front cable. YET, SO great to know what that's about. I don't get any ratcheting sound when I repress the parking brake, maybe that's a clue, or maybe that's a defect. Could be that of the two types of pedal mechanism one makes ratcheting sounds and one doesn't. dunno. I have the full service manuals though and it may be possible to tell (as in 94 apparently they used both) - and the manuals cover two types i recall - yet from the drawings and the look i made - well, i figure i should have looked a whole lot more though decided to leave the cable. The cool bits are how i got the old left and right rear cables out, what things happened at cable joiners, how i separated the connector between the front cable and the equalizer. I wish I could really do a great job of detailing and maybe I can when i get to a place that's peaceful in a week or two. I cut the cables out, took my time. Though frustratingly it doesn't feel like even worth a mention unless i show pix and detail slowly and well. Gotta sleep kinda immediately. Having a think and hope to do better soon. Having a great time. Still tons to do. I figure over Christmas I can get some forum posting and pix flow nailed down.

cool brian! I've been away for about a week. good to be back indoors. So, yeah, RPO codes are interesting! good point. Gonna be posting on other things soon i think. Happy to have the "which parking brake cables" learning basically accomplished. I'll create a new post if it gets "interesting" trying to replace the left rear and right rear initially. 13" brakes - Duo-servo /mark

Many thanks Brian! Wish I'd gotten in an update here last night/yesterday. Turns out it's that in '94 they had two brake pedal designs. RockAuto, while awesome that they note two types, I found it unclear that they mean the actual brake pedal mechanism/design. Super rush here. AND... BIG thanks again!!!!! non removable pad cover https://www.lmctruck.com/1988-98-chevy- ... components first design > removable pad cover. https://www.lmctruck.com/1988-98-chevy- ... components

TOPLINE: hope it's ok to be more specific in a new thread here - sorry if not so. Been trying to figure this out for weeks - as well as other parking brake puzzles for my '94 C2500 RWD with 13" Duo-servo brake drums. 155.5 inch wheelbase, extended cab. Semi-Float 14 bolt diff/rear. ANYONE know (at ROCKAUTO) what Non-removable Molded Pad Cover AND Removable Rubber Pad Cover means? is that the rubber casing over top of the cable? Is it the circular rubber bit on the cable? WHICH would i want? How do i deduce what I currently have on truck? I'M FEELING DUMB!!!!!!!!

SUPER BRIAN>..thank you!! LMC very cool and I've figured out the lettering code they use some. Still hoping to find out what rockauto means by "with non-removable molded pad" and "with removable pad" Gonna give LMC an email as don't think it's possible to write RockAuto Best to all /mark

13" Brakes - 8600 GVW - DUO SERVO (have unequal length primary and secondary disk brake pads I've learned) MAIN QUESTION about the Front parking brake cable: ~~>> Do i need the main/front cable with, or without the "removable pad" ??? RockAuto has with and without removable pad. Here's the correct URL, however the filter I added "155.5" doesn't apply in the weblink (URL) https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...75,brake+&+wheel+hub,parking+brake+cable,1696 My wheel base is 155.5 inch. I learned because it's an 8 foot box AND an extended cab This i need to know to order the correct FRONT PARKING BRAKE CABLE or CABLES? [ANOTHER PUZZLE] 1) Not sure how the rear left and write cables for the parking brake are affected by wheelbase 2) WHETHER different wheelbases have the same length of front cable, 3) OR, the same length of rear cables 4) or if there's nothing that's the same length between wheelbases. Whew got that written right i think. heh-heh So I need the main front cable from clutch pedal, and also he rear left and rear right cables from equalizer. And, of course of huge interest:: any info on how the THREE DUO-SERVO cables change length with different wheelbases Mine's 155.5 apparently. (front cable, left-rear cable, right-rear cable) THANKS, whatever happens!!
