Wondering if a disc brake conversion is worth it? I’ve got a ‘99 OBS CCLB k3500 SRW. It’s big and heavy and has a trailer hooked up 50% of the time.
I’ll be getting into a four corner brake job this winter, which means a full tear down of the drums too which very last due. Aside from sweat equity, I can’t see too much price difference in a full drum rebuild and disc conversion. So I’m wondering what the advantage is of one or the other.
Other then a couple backwoods camping trips a year, this truck is on the road only. I do pull mountains where I’m at, which is the hardest thing I ask of the brakes.
