Steve, my 1995 K1500 Cowboy Cadillac.

Any perceptible difference in the height of the tie rod mounting on the knuckle?

Installed my shaft rockers today. Now I no longer have to worry about the rocker arms breaking or wearing. The engine runs smoother and quieter.

Who did you end up getting these from? It's flippin' scary trying to find parts for these amazing engines... I'm like 5-10 years too late to the game it feels like.

I bought them from a member on Cadillac Power Forum. They are an older design, not sure who made them. They are similar to Stage 1 setups currently made by Cadco.

Haven't done much with the truck recently. I've been getting ready for the GMT800 brake upgrade, gathering parts. I cracked one of the brake lines checking it to see if they would come loose from the hoses in front. I also have a terminal on the PCM for the TISS sensor that backed in and needs to be replaced. So while the truck is down I decided to put on my heavy half prop valve and GMT 800 master.

I plan on doing the whole steering linkage, the GMT 800 brakes, and offset upper control arm bushings at the same time so i can finally align the truck and put on these. LT285/70/17 Thunderer Ranger ATR.

I think regular and heavy half prop valves were the same. The heavy half/light 3/4 got its own wheel cylinder.

They for sure had different part numbers. Both on the valve and in the parts catalogs.

Really? I've never looked up numbers before. I have a 1500 prop valve on mine with HB and a HD master. On the HB test drive the rears locked first which is what I was hoping for. In the winter though the fronts still go, so the balance seems about where it should be. Small inputs the fronts win, bigger inputs the rear really gets in there to help out.

Really curious about the performance of the Ranger ATR's. I have Thunderer Trac Grip MT's on my 93 and they're probably the best snow/ice tire i've ever experienced.
