Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)

Parking brake linings worn out prematurely, parking brake does not hold (PBR single-shoe drum-in-hat)

Applies to: 1500 only

ODI is aware of over 600 complaints of premature parking brake wear-out in all MY 1999-2002 C/K 1500 trucks, regardless of transmission type; most involved vehicles with 20,000-60,000 miles (= 32,187–96,561 km), or 15-41 months in service.

Most complaints (over 90%) concerned a worn out or inoperative parking brake system, usually discovered during a service visit or mandatory state safety inspection.

What to do

  1. On complaint vehicles examined in the field, wear occurred earlier and to a greater extent on the driver's side parking brake unit and was largely localized at the tip of one of the linings.
  2. Bulletin 01-05-26-001 "Park Brake - Low Effort Apply System Description" (Mar 2001) describes a park brake test procedure.
  3. A revised clip designed to exert less force on the shoe went into MY 2003 production and into the service part stream. Installing the newer clip and replacing worn linings has been shown to remedy the defect.
  4. The closing report lists a bulletin of Aug 2004 as 02-05-26-001B "Brakes - Parking Brake Shoe Retainer Clip Availability", announcing a new retainer clip service kit for DIH-equipped vehicles.
  5. In the recall, dealers install a low-force spring clip retainer on vehicles with the PBR parking brake system and a redesigned parking brake cable assembly on vehicles with the TRW parking brake system.
  6. That bulletin releases a rear parking brake retaining spring clip kit for service: two parking brake hold down spring clips and bolts.
Read the remaining 3 steps

Caution: The vehicles warn the operator with a chime if driven over 3 mph (= 4.83 km/h) with the parking brake engaged.

What is needed

Parts and materials
  • Revised clip (designed to exert less force on the shoe)
  • Parking brake shoe kit
  • Rear parking brake retaining spring clip kit (when the clips need replacing but the parking brake shoes do not)
  • Parking brake retainer spring clip kit 88982879 (for C/K, M/L and G models)

Part numbers printed in the document

The numbers are as the document prints them. The name and the replacing number are what the pages of GMPartsGiant, a reseller of genuine parts and not GM, state. Aftermarket equivalents are not checked here (the links only search by number). Confirm the fit for the vehicle (VIN) before ordering.

Outside the documents and the records

The four pages read are one on a 2001 Tahoe, one each on a 2001 and a 2002 Silverado, and one that names no vehicle; none is a record of a Yukon or Yukon XL. All are questions and answers on Q&A sites, not repair records that report what was found on teardown.

  • The clearance between the shoe and the rotor is given as 0.6604 mm (0.026 in) both in a 2CarPros answer (2002 Silverado) and in a Car Talk post (2001 Silverado, quoting a GM bulletin). 2CarProsCar Talk Community
  • The asker on 2CarPros with a 2002 Silverado (55,000 miles (= 88,514 km)) writes that the parking brake kept getting worse although the brake pads had half their life left, and that on a steep driveway the truck was parked next to a tree so that it would not roll. 2CarPros
  • In a 2CarPros question on a 2001 Tahoe whose parking brake would not quite hold with the adjustment used up, the responder answers that if the pedal reaches the floor he would suspect a stretched cable or worn shoes (including wear from a sticking rear cable leaving the brake partly applied), and if it does not, glazed shoes and braking surface or a lining that has come off its frame. 2CarPros

The sentences above were written by FaultCrate from what shops' public pages and Q&A sites state as fact (none of the pages' wording is shown; a second reader checked each against its pages). A record of another vehicle says which vehicle. A Q&A thread is a question and advice, and may not say how the repair ended. The links below are places to look; the contents of pages not read were not checked.
