Proper adjusting of e- brake question
Ok finished brake job on 2001 3/4 ton dodge and on a 2003 1 ton Ford that's a class C What are general guidelines for adjusting the e-brake? E-brake cable tight as possible but no brake friction ...

You are talking about the parking brake? The foot actuated brake cable that is used for parking? My suggestion is to never use it, not even when parked. There is all kind of likelihood that using it will result in problems.
Parking brake should be used anytime the car would roll in neutral.
If you don't trust it then it needs to be fixed.
To the OP: I think you are on the correct track. Keep watch for a bit after any adjustment as the mechanical connection can change a bit after proper forces are applied.
