Re: Parking brake question

Underside of truck work done for the E-Stopp unit, now I start on the ECU wiring inside the truck. Al parts cut, drilled, welded as necessary and then powder coated today. I used the original spring as a return spring for the tab on the brake bar. Works perfectly and the E-Stop stall out when the brakes are fully applied. I know this because I jacked up the rear end and found out when the rear wheels would not turn. I did have to adjust both brake cables and the clevis on the E-Stopp and the two brakes cables to find the sweet spot.

Re: Parking brake question

good work!
I like the background in the picture too.

Now what is the ECU wiring you speak of? Is there something about your supercharged 261 you have not updated us on??

Re: Parking brake question

No, I called the electronic control box for the E-Stopp an ECU, but it technically isn't an ECU in a literal sense. I have another box also installed under the dash for the electric power steering unit and that manufacturers also called their box and ECU (Electronic Control Unit) but it is just for the power steering unit.
