Frequently Asked Questions
What does this parking brake lever kit / shoe actuator kit do?

Does it fit a 2011-2019 Ram 1500?
Yes. The 2011-2019 Ram 1500 is one of its applications, along with the 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2011-2026 Ram 2500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact vehicle.
Is the kit protected against corrosion?
Yes. The kit is coated for corrosion resistance, which helps it resist the corrosion that can cause original parking brake actuators to seize.
Do I need special tools to install the Dorman parking brake lever?
No. Dorman states that the kit needs no special tools to install. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct procedure and fasteners.
What are signs the parking brake actuators may need replacing?
One sign is a parking brake that refuses to release, because corrosion can cause the original actuators to seize. Diagnose the cause first, since other parking brake parts can produce similar symptoms.
