OT: is there no Wayne for GMCs?
 

Disclaimer: Limited Porsche content

When releasing the parking brake on my 1997 GMC Suburban today, the cable on the parking brake release snapped. I wonder whether that is a GM weakness? On another GM vehicle, the same thing happened and I ended up going to the dealer and forking over a usury amount for the cable.:confused:

I searched and searched but every search for "parking brake release cable" turns up hits for "parking brake cable" which is NOT what I need.

I guess I never appreciated Wayne's Porsche parts catalog as much as I do now, because for the life of me I can't find a GMC parts catalog online.

Does anyone know where to find the "official" GMC parts catalog online, or better yet, which GMC dealers sell parts online at a discount?

I already checked my FLAPS and they say this specialized assembly looks like a dealer-only part, and at least IMHO, buying GMC parts at the local dealer is about as pleasant as going to the local Porsche dealer for parts.:rolleyes:

Any info much appreciated.

And as to Porsche content in this thread: the GMC can be pressed into service, if needed, as a tow vehicle for the Porsche.;)

Thanks.

FWIW, gmpartsdirect.com makes it nigh impossible to find the part based on description. I did finally locate it on a diagram on gmpartsgiant.com and got the p/n and voila, with the p/n gmpartsdirect.com also shows it. :rolleyes:

In the meantime I MUST remember NOT to step on the parking brake pedal when I park and exit (old habit of mine).

i remember back in the day a moderator would triped all over himself to get this moved.... less has moved me.
