Parking Brake Problem?

I just bought my 2002 Dodge 3500 DWR with the Disc Brakes, I have noticed that sometimes it will start to roll after the parking brake has been set. Where should I look first for problem? ANy tips would be greatly appreciated.

The parking brake is adjustable. The rear disc have a set of drum brake inside the hub area. On the backside of the hub... Look careful you will find a rubber plug in the hub area on both sides. You need to turn the star wheel with a flat blader screwdriver to adjust them.

Fairly easy to do...

Well I crawled under there and it is disc brakes on the rear too. So does it adjust the same way? Thanks for any help.

What he said.

There is a dust/rock shield in the way, so it's hard to actually see them.
