My quest to swap my 10 bolt for another shitty 10 bolt.

[Yaj Yak]

i acquired a disk brake 10 bolt rear end... my truck has drums out back. new rear end is 3.73, recently rebuilt with G80... my truck is 3.08 with g80 and 192k miles.

appaaaaarently. a fuck ton of people swap to drums to have RACETRUCKS since 15" wheels fit over them... so they are somewhat desirable...


much more disk to drum swaps

Best Proportioning Valve for Drum to Disc install. - PerformanceTrucks.net Forums

When you swap from drum to disk you would need a manual type proportioning valve so that you can adjust as needed.

Swap the master and you won't need one. Use one from an earlier style truck with 4 wheel disc.

The ABS module only controls the ABS function.

On my 2010 it had drums and i swapped to disks...didnt use any proportional valve...i dont have no issues with rear lock up

This is excellent, some gear out back is gonna do you wonders.

my 95 drum rear is touchy as fuck and its bone stock setup.
someone told me that the proportion valves were wrong when built.

similar to the 9c1 caprices.. brakes are retarded touchy.

so it's getting 3.73s AND a 5.3 ?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

The axle is going to bolt in, if it has the brake lines off the caliper to the T then just hook up either your old brake line from the chassis or use the one it came with. Swap master cylinder and boom you're done?

I can tell you that it's a good setup

Then he needs something to put that 4.8 into.

yeah looks like i will need a new e-brake line cuz they are different.

and i may need the brake lines to the axle cuz i think they are cut

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

E brake lines shouldn't be too much from the auto parts store.

I'd have to go look at my axle but taking your old hard lines and cutting them down to match up with the rubber lines and flaring them is very easy. I just did it the other day on the blazer because that's got disc brakes in the rear now.

 

[Yaj Yak]

very true and then just use an aftermarket proportioning something maybe?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Those are easy to install too inline on the rear brake line.

Or swap the master cylinder and it's fine? Is that what people do?

 

[Yaj Yak]

seems like it.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Easier to do then proportioning valve but would suck if you still needed one after the MC swap. Proportioning valve would be like half the price.
