Detailed Description

This Dorman parking brake cable, part number C94166, is made for front-position applications on select Chevrolet C1500, C2500, C3500, K1500, K2500, K3500, and related GMC models.

  • Improper cable routing or incorrect replacement length
  • Corrosion-related cable wear from road exposure
  • Uneven or inconsistent parking brake engagement

Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or source the required hardware as needed. Confirm cable length and conduit routing against the original part before final assembly.
