Searched on a whim and found this thread, replying because my truck is at a local shop getting the parking brake cable done right now. Pretty much the same truck, same issues almost exactly, although I reassembled the rear brakes and tried all the adjustments with absolutely no success, in fact I just let it be as I didn’t need to park on hills anywhere so just put it in gear, and I went from having somewhere around 20% parking brake to 0% over the next, ~20,000 miles (Yeah I’ve been putting it off for way too long ha ha)

Dealership said there was cable hangup due to corrosion, recommended a replacement.

Do the parking brake cables move freely, and return fully when the brake is released? You'll have to pull the drums to verify this. I'm now thinking that one or both cables is seized within the sheating and you are trying to adjust the brakes with the parking brake partly applied, even though the handle is released. Cable stretch is NOT your issue if the pull on your handle is normal, but something is clearly wrong if you can't lock up the brake with the star wheel adjuster.

@landphil I think you are correct (edit for clarification: I could not lock up the wheels via star wheel adjustment either, so I think they were never adjusting correctly because the cable was not returning)
@kidthatsirish update?
