truck is old, how tired is it? is your 'daily driver' (the car you rely on to get you to work) as old as this lift, and how long are you going to use the lift each week? agreed this is an easy brake job to work on, and your problem (this time, right now) is most likely related to the wheel brakes or the park brake cables/linkage, but this truck is no 'spring chicken', so to speak. this truck almost qualifies as "obsolete".
