Grandpa's 1995 C1500 Reborn

You just can't seem to catch a brake from drums can you? (Bad pun I know) I know I hate drums too, but haven't really had any problems from my Jeep when I had drums, before I did a disc brake swap, and haven't had any problems from either axle I've had under the Yukon.

Oh well, at least when you do a disc brake swap your problems should be over.

I wish I could blame the drum brakes for all of my problems but I'm sue I'm not doing something right. I've heard that cheap quality brakes could be the cause (I use the duralast from vatozone), I've heard of people sanding the sharp edges of the shoes off becuase those can catch and dig in, I've heard of people grinfding the contact points on the backing plate down a little. All sorts of stuff. My opinion will never change though. I F'n hate drum brakes.

I'm honestly considering making the truck look like this again (except for the tonneau, exhaust, and darker tint) and tossing a 5.3 in there and just driving it. I want to get a superduty (7.3) or a 25/3500 ram (cummins) 4x4 but I'm far from it.

You don't like my stickers? ;P

Maybe you should consider a full axle swap for a newer Tahoe/Yukon with a 14b and factory disc?

I do not want to swap axles again. What prop valve did you use again? Is it the 3/8-24 invented flare one?

No, the line to the rear is 1/4

Is this not the right one?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

This one, see how it says for 1/4 lines?

See where the one I posted says "for 1/4 brake lines" (under "includes")? Lol! Thanks for the link.
