I'm converting a vacuum assisted brake system over to a hydroboost. However I'd like to keep the system as compact and failure proof as possible. Is there a vehicle/unit where I can just run the master cylinder output (brake line) to an input on the hydroboosted cylinder ? I've seen all the kits...
So before I read all the threads about the light weight brakes I purchased dynalites all around and f250 rear rotors and machined them to fit all around. Now I’m thinking I should have spent the money to do 3/8 rotors. Anyone have good luck with the spaced out dynalites and what was your solution
Don't care about gear ratio, etc. All I care about is that it's the '94 and down one that uses the rubber filled pin to retain everything, not the newer knuckle with the bolt on calipers. Would actually prefer a 44HD over a 50 for what I'm doing.
Anybody found anything that is actually worth the money for these trucks to increase stopping power? Already have vented rotors from powerstop or the like. Have always ran factory pads also. Maybe a better pad compound I am not aware of?
Edit: need something that still fits 16" dually wheel
Any ideas why most of my braking is on the front, to the point it gets them smoking hot?
Rear pads were replaced last year, and I adjusted it this spring which slightly helped.
They engage when tested with ass in the air. And park brake holds the truck fine.
Pedal travels normal, and effort is...
Took my new burb out on the GA gambler 500 this past weeked. Had a blast and aside from a coolant leak, the intake hat bouncing off, the front axle actuator not working and the rear brakes being useless it did great.
Brakes were the biggest issue. I replaced the rotors and pads on the front...
Hey all,
Looking for the following, to finish up my project. I'm on the final stretch, and have spent a ton of money. So, looking to creatively source some stuff to help me get wrapped up. I'm in Arizona (Flagstaff), but might run down to the valley, or pay to ship.
Looking for:
D60 front...
Title pretty much says it all.
I have a utility trailer with tandem 3,500 Dexter axles and if the trailer is plugged into the truck there is an audible “thump, thump, thump” noise coming from the brakes. The noise starts as soon I make the connection.
The brakes appear to otherwise work...
its tuesday so figured now was the time to ask this. i have always ran vac brakes on my builds as was stock to the truck i built off ect. new buggy build i bought Wilwood manual brake pedal and dual master set up but not super happy with how i have it mounted. after talking to a few friends...
So been scratching my head im looking for some info on brakes to use on my 609 i know theres the branik leagacy stuff but im cheap and dont want to drop $1900 on brakes. So what i have is a trailgear 9” housing, 99-04 sd 60 knuckles, stock unit bearings machined to 5x5.5 and im looking for some...
I have an equipment trailer that is 2 years old and the brakes have NEVER worked well on it. I've been relentlessly working on them to no avail. I've been using this trouble shooting guide, which I think has some errors, but is a cut and paste of all other trouble shooting articles I can find...
I've got to replace the brakes on my trailer. 7k dexters.
any suggestions for brake sources?
I know, buy it nice or buy it twice, but there's got to be a balance between quality and affordable.
I see there are 360/per pair brakes on e-trailer, or 216 for 4 brakes on amazon.
what have you used?
The brakes on this turd have always been softer than I like. Well now they’re really soft.
They go to the floor under hard braking. I just tore them all down today and bled every caliper until clean fluid came out.
No hydraulic leaks. Now all clean fluid.
I’m down to a vacuum leak. All I...
Planning to run right/left cutting brakes off a stock vehicle M/C through two solenoid valves. (line locks)
But, being the tard I am, I got to thinking :homer:
I wanted to plumb both MC outlets through a T-piece and then split left/right trough yet another T.
The thought being that the MC is set...
I must be a retard. I replaced brake pads and rotors. I squeezed the caliper pistons slowly and now I have no front brakes. I did not open the system. When I bleed I get one fluid push then nothing after that. Could I have pushed a small air bubble to the master cylinder? The prop valve doesn’t...
Floating ideas on a future build. Toyota based light weight buggy. Mostly trail riding and rocks, no cone dodging. 2014 Tacoma rear axle. Why couldn't one utilize the E brake cables as turning brakes if not used often? On a super light rig they would grab plenty. Fabbing up levers with the right...
Has anyone done this?
I would like to swap the 10.5 to get the Disc brake setup into my 95. I understand ring and pinion should swap since I need 4.11 and I do have the long pinion from 93 and newer currently.
If you have done the swap, what did you do for a master cylinder?
I have rear...
