:lol:

I got the brakes all done FINALLY! Took it for a test drive and damn near hit my head on the sterring wheel cuz I didn't have a seatbelt on....

I did upgrade to 1ton shoes amd bypassed the ABS valve. DAMN! Feels good to have a truck that feels like it has rear disc's on it!

Have a good one!

I think the bypass of the AntiStop Valve had the biggest influence.

What's the deal with rear discs? The few vehicles I've driven didnt stop as well as a Dodge with no RWAL.

lots of manufacturers will give rear disks a disatdvantage because they dont want the rears to lock up first, thats one thought

I have driven some newer vehicles with rear discs and they stop FAST! Faster then some of the ones I have driven in my short life. The rears lock up about 3-5 seconds after the front from a 40-0 check brake.

I like the brakes on the newer chevy tonners. They stop nice and the e brake holds nice too in each direction. I know they had a bad wrap for a while but they do stop nice. I have never had what I would call good brakes on any of my dodges. :roll:

just tody it seems my brake booster is on the fritz it seems to have good brakes but much more force needs be applied to make the beast stop think i might have a dry rotted vaccume line
