rerouted brake cables over top of frame like it should have been in the first place.


Way it looks now, you can see the rub marks how it use to be.


up over cab mount.


over frame


over drive line using factory clamps, sheet metal screwed under cab.


plenty of clearance.


plenty of clearance over exhaust pipe also.


Pretty easy, not alot of room to get to 10mm bolts on clamps. But still well worth it.

I have been wanting to do this for a long long time. Thanks for the pics.

feel free to ask questions.

yeah i dont understand why those GM morons did that. i was always worried i was going to snap them while off roadin

Did it

Go here to see my before and after.

you don't want to see mines.

I had to replace my rear brake shoes and right-rear drum AFTER I redid the rear brakes. I drove over a large chunk of tire tread and it hooked the park brake cable, that I zip-tied up, and put a nasty 90° kink in it. Enough for the rear brakes to drag and wear down completely

Good job on the re-routing of the cables Ron!

Did you have to remove them from the shoes?

I'm actually assuming that is a yes. Found my saturday project!

I believe that the guys are disconnecting it at the adjuster under the cab.

Only need to disconect at adjustment only. unbolt all brackets except last one closest to wheel. Use 2 of the clamps to reclamp under cab above driveshaft.

Thanks!

I nearly ripped my e brake cables off at the alignment shop. Thats the price to for being low though.

great mod wolf! did mine yesterday, took 30 minutes, cost was $0.00, and now the cables are safely out of the way, and no longer an eye sore. i swear my parking brake works smoother now too...could just be the adjustments to the tension. great job.

I'll be doing this on Friday when I install my AAL kit. Thanks for the How To!

I still need to do this..........

I snagged them pretty good the other day leaving the gym.

I did mine. Used custom clamps.

Jesus, lets see some pics of the clamps.

I didn't use any clamps with mine...just up over the frame they went and thats where they'll stay.

yea same here but i put some zip ties to make sure it doesnt come out again.......

I work up some pics when i can use my garage again.

I headed the pass side over the drive shaft and muffler. The driver side goes straight up and parallels the fuel lines.

Please post pics if mod is diff from original post. This is a really good mod, show us several variations. Thanks.

That's exactly what I just did..They both go over the top of the frame right behind the body mount shown in pic #2 of those pics that were posted..Its a perfect fit..I eliminated one of the stock clamps. I believe its the final one on the drivers side right before the cables connect to the front cable via that 2 into 1 set up. Thanks for those pics though, they came in handy.

So this may be a stupid question, but you used all the same clamps and just rerouted the cables? I really need to do this to mine, i ran into the same problem with getting the cable snagged and wearing down my pads. Thanks

when i go over the driveline. i tuck it under the heat sheild now. works perfectly. When re-routing, do not kink your lines.
