First the rear end now this, what a piece of crap, follow my lead Ed............... The key to a successful relationship between man and vehicle is as follows, build your truck, put ungodly amounts of time and money into it, mix that in with a few pints of blood, locks of hair and 1-3 pounds of skinned/burnt flesh, then stick that baby in an enclosed trailer and never let it see daylight, see my truck never breaks, and i bet your thinking im just mad cause i spent 2 plus years and havnt driven mine more than 2 miles

You dont need a release handle... Reach up under the dash and pull the release lever with your finger. Ive actually gotten pretty good at it but be warned.....put your foot on the E brake pedal to slowly let the pedal return or it whacks you in the knuckles (BTDT).

c'mon i knew that. hmm... maybe what we should do here is make a list of cool or funny things you could use to pull on to release the ebrake. lol

Who uses a e-brake anyway? all it does is warp the drums when you put it on. i just use park, and if i have a emergency i will push it on. After that the myclone method works great.

No, you can't have mine either

Get rid of the handle and add a chute.

actually we use for testing spool rate whele it sits in front of my tool box!

i just figure for 2 bucks it might save the 7k snap on box and the front end of the truck.

Ed,

I moved your thread since you can't seem to post in the proper section.

i know it is tough to scroll down the page, but the lounge is for general type questions & comments, and when searching it helps to narrow your search by forum.
Then again it only helps to search by forum when the poster uses the proper forum.

Glad to see you got the part you needed worked out.
I will add that part # to my page at my next update.

Please try to use the correct forum in the future or your threads will get moved to the trash instead of a forum.

Thank you please drive thru.

yeah you guys have i treal tough policing things so that they follow all the strict guidelines. In the future i will try to be more diligent in adhereing to the posting guidelines. so for any dificulties this may have caused...
