A stock emergency brake, on a Chevrolet truck, can be released by manually disengaging the emergency brake. This can be accomplished by loosening the tension nut on the brake.
I'm thinking about what you said, and I release probably you don't have emergency brake on, it could be something broken on the rear brake hardware, So you have to pull your tires off and check the brake springs and check emergency brake cables under the truck,
Put your foot on the brake and move it into drive
go to sears
Sometime the brake shoes will rust or freeze to the drum. TAke it to a garage.
Look at the two cable going to each drum to see if just one is stuck on or both. IS it drum or disc? It is the emergency brake cable. It happened to me once before and the tow truck driver said the release is the same as in a Cadillac, but that doesn't help me and I can't afford another tow truck driver. In a caddilac you put it in drive to release the parking brake. But when the cable is broken you can't engage the parking brake.
Check at the upper end of the brake pedal undeer dash area
Sticky or stuck brake calipers. Sticky or stuck parking brake mechanism.
if its on a car or truck (brake caliper) it is how the emergency brake works, usually on the rear, it has a cable that turns the cylinder inside the caliper
yes
The same as any other vehicle.
it could be the brake light switch that usually contacts the break pedal when you depress the brake pedal. check that out first.
