Hello. I have a question though. I just took the truck in for a brake inspection. I thought the brake went to far down when braking and when the emergency brake is on it also goes all the way down. Once I put the er brake on and let go of the brake pedal the truck rolls back on the drive way. it sucks because when I go to start up again and put it in reverse it is hard and you can hear the knock in the transmission. WHY?
According to the shop the brakes are fine. the drums are fine. the cylinders are fine. everything if fine. so why does the er brake not hold her still?
Can someone post a pic of where the motor for the windshield washer is. mine don't work anymore?
thx.

Now which would you like to address first?
This has (by all look ups) a disc rear brake for service brake with a small drum brake inside. There's no wheel cylinder for that but hardware and adjustments can be made. It doesn't wear out unless it failed or left on and driven so you've been fed some bull IMO.
Why your brake feel goes "down" to far is usually brake pad wear even if still safe life left or if air in system then why needs to be found out.
The parking brake to floor suggests it's AFUed inside the rotor, hardware allowed (broken?) a shoe to tilt and poof those are gone and you get no pedal from PARKING BRAKE only. Essentially not part of regular braking. I doubt this was inspected in full at all.
You probably need a real check at another shop. I know some do this for free and can't speak for the extent of checking either just a glance or take things apart and really check takes time.
Washer motor? Just look and follow hoses to it. Many are at bottom of the tank you fill and could be totally out of sight?
Knock in transmission or think it's that: These things really don't add up as associated with each other at all. That noise may not even be the transmission at all but the broken parking brake and can't know from here,
