I'm buying a master, disc rear prop valve, and stainless front lines for the truck soon. Got a killer deal on it all brand new.

So the consensus is, that a 2005 Silverado 1500 will work fine as replacement of a OBS MC?

****. I did mine awhile ago. Huge improvement. I also scrapped my ABS module and upgraded all my lines to pre bent stainless hard line and braided stainless flex lines.

What do you what pics of. Here is my swap. OE everything else. Brakes have a lot firmer peddle. My MC come off of a 2002 Tahoe, I think. Found the MC in the salvage year. I figured I would try this first just in case it didn't work good, but it is a lot better in my truck anyway.

But thanks for sharing your picture. Question: Did you do the RWAL delete?

No delete. All my brakes are OE except the MC and brass nipple.
