yesterday i installed the new proportioning valve from inline tube to adjust for the caddy calipers in the back. i also go the dana 44 underneath, and today ill work on the shocks, and the brake lines, and then bleed the brakes!!!

The underside of you truck (axles etc) looks better then some peoples trucks!!! good work man :) :waytogo:
 
Why did you use a proportioning valve?? Have you driven your truck with out it to see if you really needed it??
Looks good though, I willbe doing the same swap here in the next week :)
 
another member here, jms, pointed me in that direction. instead of getting the weiand prop valve that you put in line to adjust the flow, you get the one form inline and supposively it automatically routes the correct amount of fluid to all the calipers since i went to disc in the rear.

I run the same InLine Tube prop valve, it is setup 4 way disk brakes.`Works great
 
go to work ya slacker!:tongue1: :haha:

i'm jeolous, looks good.. looks like you'll be done by saturday.. the truck seems to be coming apart pretty easy.. need my torque wrench?

got my pump yesterday and am putting it on this afternoon.. gonna work maybe tommorrow or thurs, but i'll be around otherwise if ya need anything..
 
why adjust when you dont have to. i got an adjustable sitting in the garage in the package, but i figured for 50 bucks more, why adjust?
 
yea it would be convenient, hopefully I wont have to spend any money on anything and they will work fine, we will see :)
 
I wish I had money and time to conver to disks... but just getting the axle under the truck and wheeling is my first priority.
 
Iam doing my disk swap soon and that prop valve looks much simpler to install than the adjustable one. What part # did you get?:burb:
 
Looks like I'm gonna be doing the same kinda thing as you. Except I've got the entire 3/4 ton frame and all. I gotta put the engine and everything on the 3/4 ton frame as well as a 4" lift.
