Topic: Rear brake thingy question

[guywithuglyyota]

What the hek is that valve, thats attached to the rear axle on my 94? Im guessing it is a praportioning valve that senses the load in the bed, and increases brake pressure?

I just installed the Marlin springs in the rear and I think bad things will happen if I re-attach it, since these springs flex, and droop waay more than stock.

Is there a way to defeat it? Or mount it so its tricked into thinking the truck is empty?


Thanks Luke

Thanks minisimp,  any idea what I do with it? Looks like it will stretch if I re-attach it.

I cut mine off and zip-tied it in the up position, no problems so far.
Summitracing.com sells adjustable proportioning valves for around $40 that you adjust with a turn knob.
I'd go that route.

Sounds good. Thanks

Here's how I fixed mine using stock parts that attached the arm to the axle and it is adjustable

Me too. I put in a Cruiser master cylinder, discs  (from TSM) and a residual valve. Works great
