yea..i just did my brakes...new pads all the way around...regreased eveything (the springs on the calipers too, and pretty much anything that moved having to do with brakes!!), and it works nicely..EXCEPT..when i pulled into work today.i pulled up on my ebrake..Snap..Ting...SHIT!..i looked, and theres no cables hanging..i see ALOT of slack where the cables meet infront of the diff...did my cable snap?

Sounds like it. Check the cable end at the handle and see if you can pull it out of the handle. I'd lay odds the front cable over stretched and snapped.

Did you re-connect the cables back @ the rear brakes after the brake job?
