I have recently purchased a 2005 Tahoe, I'm getting it ready for the DOT inspection which requires an operational park brake....I've I got all the parts together except for the dust boot that covers the brake cable where it enters the backing plate I can't seem to get one anywhere and the dealer wants $300 to buy the whole assembly I just need the $2.00 boot...Does any one have any Ideas?

Thanks Sean

 

junkyard, ebay. maybe lmc truck...

 

make one from something else / similar?

 

So far the junk yards let them go with the rear ends, and there's not a rear end in town.
So for to make one out of something else it is a pretty unique item...inner tube maybe!

 

what about if u look for 1 off something that has the same rear end? maybe a truck or something. and personaly aroudn here junkyards are lazyyyyy they dont know what they got lol.. go out there and look yourself. i asked them for a 5 speed trans for a ranger 1 time.. they said they had none!..i went out there and i'd be damned! about 5-10 of them lol

 

Around hear they won't let you past the gate....

 

oh..they wont let u pull somethin off.... thats stupid.. then again quiet a few turbos have been missing from cars from ours.. hehehehehehe
