    The parking brake on my 2000 gmc sierra will not hold. I have adjusted both the park brake shoes and cable, but it will still not hold the truck. This is the same issue that led to a recall on gmc and chevrolet pick-ups with manual transmissions, but the trucks equipped with automatic transmissions were not included. However, the park brake must be in working order to pass the nc safety inspection. *tr
