The brakes are not working at all

I'm going to buy a new one and try that out, I'm pretty sure thats what it is.

It did help me do a burn out though. A lot of axle wrap though

 

[howdiy]

Exhaust is done

Sound pretty decent, and it's quite while at normal driving rpm's

My lense was fogged over from being the A/C and then the heat, and also the opposite.

I got a pic when I was leaving, it ran out of gas right there.

 

[howdiy]

Right now I have two problems

No rear brakes

And it shakes pretty bad under acceleration

when are you going to finish your front bumper?

 

[desertrat67]

Do you have a better shot of how the exhaust is run at the end? Did you go under the frame over the leaves, or what?

Do you still have the stock combo valve (under the master cylinder, contains the proportioning valve). They are designed to "trip" if they sense a loss of presssure to either the front or rear axle and will close off the fluid to that end.

Not until I get a winch, I'm actually pretty happy with the plain tube at the moment

Over the frame under the leaves, I'll get some pics maybe later today. Maybe even show some of my booger welds on the exhaust

I think on a stock truck it's goes under, I'll get a pic of my dads exhaust on his 502 suburban after he gets it installed

Yes I believe I have that, It's the stock 2wd 2500 stock brake setup. I'll look at it though.

What would the brakes feel like if that tripped?

Right now they just go to the floor.

I did hear a kind of clicking sound when I was bleeding the brakes, and felt it in the pedal

How do you untrip/reset this(for future reference).

 

[howdiy]

I think I'm going to get the whole inside rhino lined. I just need to get a posi and rebuild this guys 12 bolt for his 69 camaro and he'll do it.

I'm also probably going to get a rockcrusher rear cover.

 

[howdiy]

Poser shot, I need to cut the rear fenders out, crappy one though, It has a lot more left

I also bottomed out the rear suspension , I'll add the timbren bump stops out back, and maybe an addaleaf

For future reference

[BGKYK5]

I want a Willy's pickup bad.

 

[howdiy]

I found this one for 600 on craigslist, but I cant really do 600 right now

It seems like it's not rusted out but I would definitely need to check it out.

I wouldn't even paint the outside, I'd get rid of all the other rust though but go for the rat rod look.

 

[chulisohombre]

looks pretty solid for 600.just have to neutralize the rust somehow on the outside to keep it from rusting more.or the other thing would be to flat black it for the rat rod look.

 

[howdiy]

I'm going to look at it tomorrow

I would probably just end up painting, not sure of a color though. Flat black is cool but too hot.

 

[howdiy]

It was a POS, I found another but it's 600 for just the cab and fenders.

I decided I'll just continue with the original plan of bobbing the back. I always go of on these tangents for awhile

I'm also thinking about a rear 4 link, I'm not really happy at all with my leaves back there.

 

[howdiy]

4-link is official now, should be done in around a week from now

I started another thread for it.

Another update is I found a th400 np205 case and adapter. I may have to take my th350 np205 guts out and put it in the other but thats no biggie. I'll twin stick it at the same time.

And the th400, means BB down the road also .

 

[ryoken]

I take it you don't have much to worry about emissions-wise down your way?

 

[howdiy]

Yep thankfully

 

[howdiy]

Well the 4 link is just about wrapped up

Whats next?

Definitely some poo pipe sliders are in order. I'll finally order the brackets from diy4x.

The roof was rolled on. It was boat top deck paint. Hopefully the white may be a little cooler in the summer.
