Then work the cables in and out to work in the lube. Also, spray the foot mechanism in the cab.   If that doesn't work, pull the drums back off and make sure the e-brake linkage is also able to move freely, without any binding.

I expect this to fail on most vehicles without anyone knowing until it is too late!   As for the braking power or lack thereof… I have not done the fix yet but they did change the whole braking system on the truck. The new equipment fits the old models. “they say” they put in a more powerful master cylinder and better calipers. We will see. It will be time for me to change out the fronts again in about 2 months so I am just upgrading to Baer calipers and rotors in the front. I am going to buy the new master cylinder from GM. They have done thing for the rear at all form what I can see though.   Bad Bad Bad design!!! BUT… I will say I do have 140K on the truck and bought it in 8/06 with no engine issues. My check engine light did come on around 110K but that was caused by a old gas cap letting air in the tank… changed out gas cap and good to go… Also the air flow control switch (the one that indicated deforst, feet/face ect) failed as well. Time to replace that now.
