Best Answer

Crawl under the truck on the driver's side. You will see a cable with a "turnbuckle" heading to the rear axle housing. Within this "turnbuckle", you will see two nuts on a threaded rod....loosen the furthest to the rear, this is known as a lock-nut. Then tighten the forward nut until the brakes hold to satisfaction, then tighten the rear nut up against the front nut, you will need two wrenches for this. once tight, you should be "good to go".
