The company truck has an issue that the brake doesn't hold, it's on the floor. Seems the one fellow drove with it on and it wayyy outta adjustment now.

I can't seem to find any adjuster on it, looked front to back(caliper). WTH?

the emerg brake adjustment is on the end of the cable. the emerg brake is mounted on the back of the trans. that's why 88-97 f450's used a 4x4 trans.

Nope, our '91 was like that. The 99 has rear disc and the cables run to the rear side of the caliper to a hook. No adjustment at the pedal end, nowhere on the cable as it runs along the outside of drivers side of frame, nothing at the balance point, nothing back on the caliper.

On the 99-current the e-bake is a drum brake inside the Hat of the rotor. The is an adjustment just like drum brakes have
