Geez, glad that didnt happen to mine. My drivers side e-brake cable went bad and kept sticking on. It would eventually pop loose but I know that brake go pretty warm. Jerry hooked me up with another cable off an '01 rodeo and it got it changed out last week. Pain to do on 2nd gen rodeos, have to drop the tank to get to one of the brackets.
