Hi : About the parking brake and making sure all rear wheels brakes
are in good shape. The GMC is supposed to adjust these brakes when
backing up if the "Star" is in good shape. I replaced all 4 of these
"STARS" when checking the brakes and had to change one drum that was
ruined due to improper adjustment. Question: Is there anything else to
check to ensure these brakes are in good shape as mentioned Rick?
Thanks Chuck
