Hey guys is there any trick to keeping your parking brake in working order? A couple of my buddies have wolverines and their parking brakes never seem to work, any tips?

My trick is to tie it down securely in the back of the truck. Seriously, I've never gotten any satisfaction out of the parking brake, and have completly given up on it.
If you don't count on it, it won't let you down.

Your Welcome,
I've had a similar problem twice now, and both times it was a very small piece of dirt in the main jet.
Glad it worked for you.
