The emergency parking break does not work, I don't think it ever has. I have had it repaired twice over the years and it quickly quit both times. It feels like normal resistance when you push it in with your foot, and does a normal clunk and release when you release it, but it does not at all hold the truck in place. It is a manual transmission so it is very inconvenient for this to not work. An example, that I have to deal with regularly is hooking up to a trailer. I need to get out to see how close I am and I have to put it in gear (only reverse will hold it, the other gears will slip and the truck will roll) and turn it off to go look.

2002 ford f250 super duty rusted steel brake line which caused the brakes to fail at 25mph in neighborhood. I have 84,507 miles on the vehicle and do not live in a harsh environment.

The steel brake line is rubbing a cable cover that has metal tape on it and has caused premature rusting. I live in east tennessee and the weather is not harsh.
