What kind of proportioning valve? Where did you get yours any part #'s do i have to get a new master cylinder?

 

your brakes will be mushy because your current master cylinder cannot move enough fluid to put good pressure on the calipers.

So what exactly does the valve do? Is there any specific spots to mount it closer the the master cylinder of further away you just splice this into the old brakeline somewhere?

 

Just ordered some drop shackles and that valve the axle should be in soon i hope.

 

put it whereever. the valve lets you back the pressure off on the rear brakes so they dont lock up.

 

Thats what i thought to but i just wanted to make sure, but summit just told me that yesterday. So all im waiting on is my brake brakets and get the tabs welded back on then ill be back in business. The 14 bolt has 4.10 L/S to.

 

Love that pic of your truck in the front page. Good stuff, let's get some more!

 

And like burger king you can have it your way haha so i got the shackles on and my brake brackets got here yesterday to.

i would much rather have my rear brakes lock up before the front.. but thats just me.


do those brackets make the caliper go on the bottom side of the axle?

 

what axle is that?

 

Corp. 14 bolt Full floater

basically its a beast, and if i ever get rid of my 9" thats what i'll be getting.

 

Nope the caliper will be mounted above the axle but you can make them go on the bottom side to but im gonna run them up top.

 

hm.. i saw one setup on a 14B and he had the caliper under the axle, he said that was the only place the bracket would go..


so he was gonna wait to rip a caliper off then redo it haha

 

Ya id end up getting it torn off or somthing stupid it really dosent matter the brackets fit the holes all the way around the axle not a different pattern or anything at least with these ones.

 

flip sides? lol

none of them should be designed to go on the bottom.

 

not in snowy or wet conditions you dont. its crazy!

 

...i'm just going off what he said.

oh, in rain i can lock up all 4 easily...


but once the fronts lock you lose steering, as your well aware of.

 

if you can stop without locking them up the faster you will stop

 

Thats what i was thinking to

 

where did you get your brush guard i want one that style but cant find any for our year trucks. or did you make custom brackets

 

Its for an explorer and i got it at a local junkyard. If you want it ill sell it.

 

i spun a 360 a week ago because of that. ******* cutting in front of you last second is fun. but i wouldnt take abs back for my life

 

Well boys i looks like the rear end is gonna have to wait till spring the d-shaft isnt going to clear the gas tank. So once its starts to get 50 or 60 out then i will pull the old tank buy a fuel cell and get-r-done.
Any input on how to install a cell would be very helpful and what kind of setup your running would be great.
Thanks
