Start by pushing the emergency brake pedal as far as you can to the floor. Put wheel chocks behind the front wheels, and then jack the rear wheels up. Locate the cable rod, it should be underneath the truck in the middle. Tighten it with pliers by rotating it 6 turns. Set the cable tension gauge to 350 pounds, and attach it to the rear tension cable. Press on the parking brake to release it, and make sure that the wheels spin forward and backwards. Adjust the equalizer nut, using the pliers, and then lower the vehicle.
