Alright. I took the drum apart and reassembled it to no avail. I am pretty stumped. I know that the shoes are not seating right because the tops of the shoes are rubbing quite a bit on the drum… Could it be that the parking brake cable is not releasing all the way? Thanks

Alright. I ordered them new from rockauto. Like I said, for some reason I am suspicious of the parking brake cable that attaches to the adjusting lever and the spring that holds the lever back.

Thank you for the replies.

I am going to take another look at the drums this weekend.
Is machining the drums nessesary even if they’re new?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. That would be much cheaper. Going to drop that section and see what I can do.

Alright. Thanks for the response! I am going to get on replacing the part. Looks like it is part of the cat assembly. Have a happy new year!

Great – That helps a bunch. Thank you!

?Thanks guys – Seems like it was just a loose connection.

Quoted From pcmdjason:

Pre OBDII chryslers you could flick the key on-off-on-off-on and pull codes from the dash lights.

How would I go about doing this? Thanks.
