I have a gc25k that the parking brake is not holding. These items have been replaced with new total source brand parts: brake shoes, parking brake cables, drums, park brake lever, also wheel and master cylinders.

Everything is adjusted to the max and still not holding the unit still at an idle. The cables are pulled down to the max at the lever and lever is also out of adjustment. The shoes have been ran in and properly adjusted as well. I am wondering if the use of aftermarket parts is to blame. All parts and numbers have been double checked to make sure they are right for the application. Also have had same problems on GP25k lifts using the same types of new parts.

Anyone have this before? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
