1995 Ford F-250: brake failure

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.

The vehicle was taken through state inspection and did not pass because the parking brake was inoperable.

Recently when I got in my 1995 f250 w/manual transmission I depressed the clutch pedal to start it up & the pedal went to the floorboard & stayed there. What I found after inspecting the clutch pedal was that the end of the rod that goes into the master clutch cylinder broke (this is connected to the peddle). This rod appears to be plastic on the end & metal going into the master cylinder. My concern is that this seems to be a safety issue. If I was driving this truck and this rod broke while I was trying to stop quickly (or stop at any time) then it would have been very difficult to stop since the clutch wouldn't have engaged. I have photos of this part as evidence if needed.
