Does anyone actual have one of these trucks that stops good

For less than $400 plus the cost of a conversion joint and driveshaft shortening (on mine), not too bad of a deal.

I went thru front disc pads like once a year...rotors...every 2-3 years...then I pulled my rears to see why they were "lasting" so long....

they were original...almost NO wear!!!! 250 K on the truck...I got it at 170k.

the ABS (crap) was clogged..the valve in the back on the frame.
My friend is a mechanic (pro) and he said it would help to dc the abs..but he could't "legally do it"...I said "do it" "I'll sign a waiver"

It was AMAZING how well my truck stopped after that....oh and I had gone thru 2 power assists prior.

It simply had NO rear brakes for years...
I also enjoy not leerching forward everytime Ineed to stop this beast.

That sounds like my truck I have to keep the back brakes super tight. I also replaced master cylinder and booster 3 times . Rotors and pads are like oil changes. A regular thing. I'll try by passing my abs.

After seeing the inside of my rear tire glistening with brake fluid, Im going to redo my drums. What size shoes and wheel cylinders is everybody using?

[ellis93]

One ton stuff,3" shoes and 1 1/8 (I think) cylinders.

I have the stock cylinders and the 3" shoes.

My truck brakes are excellent.

Basically replaced everything a while back. Check out my thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9864&p=74837#p74837

I basically replaced every single piece of brake hardware on the truck including ALL hydraulic lines and hoses. I removed the rear anti-lock components & upgraded to 1 ton wheel cyls & 3" brake pads. Gotta be careful not to lock up the rear wheels in the rain. If I had to do it again I would stick with the 3" brake pads but keep the 3/4 ton wheel cyls.

After replacing everything I had a hell of a time bleeding the system, power bleeder didnt have enough push to force all the air out. Ended up doing the old school buddy pump the pedal while I crack the bleeders.

Caveat, I don't reccomend brakeperformance.com. Dissapointed with overall quality.

If you are having trouble with your rear adusters, maybe double check that the aduster hardware is installed correctly. It's easy to go wrong there. When I took mine apart I noticed the hardware was incorrectly installed by the previous guy. Hence shoes were down to bare metal one one side.

So as good as it brakes now (and it does brake well) my 2nd gen 02 dually is even better! Lovin the rear disc brakes.
