Awright, my e brake isn't holding, and I'm outta warranty. How's it adjusted? Appreciate the help, thanks in advance.

Grady,

Not sure about the e-brake adjustment procedure but have you checked for a
leaking rear axel seal? (http://community.webshots.com/photo/65684589/139080723yFaWcq)http://thumb3.webshots.com/s/thumb1/8/7/23/139080723yFaWcq_th.jpg

When I found a leak on mine and the dealer replaced both the seal and the oil soaked e-brake shoes.

OK! So w/ just a l'il time in the driveway and the trusty floor jack, I've found that they are adjusted through the plugs on the backing plates(?), just like drums. Next question, how many GM trucks w/ 4 wheel discs out there are missing the plug on the passenger side? Come on GM techs, fess up. It was a b!##@* getting in the passenger side w/ a regular spoon. Finally figured out that shorter is sometimes better(known that one fer awhile actually!) L8R
