no you are not confused. The tech told the sa the pb was working correctly and I didn't have the time or patience to argue that day. I was expecting a loaner but they made me wait wile they troubleshot so that threw my sched out of waxk in the first place. My assumption is that the tech yanked the parking brake through the roof and called it good. Call me crazy but I don't want to tear a bicep every time I set it!
