1995 Ford F-250 brakes problems

Filed Dec 20, 2014 · Brakes · 400,000 miles · LA

I replaced the rear brakes on my 1995 ford f250. I put on new duralast brake shoes (part #358) from autozone. Afterwards, the emergency/parking brake failed. I took everything apart and took a while before I found the problem. At the top of the brake shoes there is a half circle where the front and back shoe meets and that is where the emergency/parking brake cam pushes the shoes apart. The oem shoes have a tall shoulder at the very tip top where the cam pushes against the rear shoe, the duralast shoe has a shorter shoulder and allowed the cam to slip over the top of the rear shoe causing the unexpected emergency/parking brake failure.

Drove truck into the garage, brakes worked fine. Next day started engine and noticed that brake warnng light did not go off. When backing out of garage, noticed that I had only about 10% of normal braking power. Brought truck to a slow stop and called local dealer. Truck was towed in. Dealer replaced a vacuum pump assembly, ford part f4tz-2a451-a . Part cost $308.55, labor $101.99. Had this truck been in its normal service, towing a 9,000 pound travel trailer the results might have been tragic. I consider this a major design defect. A brake part should not go from 100% effective to 10% with no warning. Dt
