When trying to install the Cable that is new,on both sides of the truck, there is one that has to much slack still, even when it has been adjusted.

Husband has gone back and forth to auto store getting different size cables trying to get this done for his sticker this year. We are looking for a diagram that shows how to install them properly.

But no luck. Help!

I don't have a picturer of the park brake cable layout. However, if he has fully adjusted it and there is still too much play, they are giving him the wrong parts.
