Topic: lspv valve elimination

[croberts]

I did a search read a bunch and "i'm still confused. sorry i know this has been discussed a million times.  I want to get rid of this lpsv. Whats the cheapest route? In the treads i read they talked about plugging the return? What did you use as a plug what did you do with the extra lines? This is a trail only rig. Thanks for all the help.  Pics would be awsome!!!

get a proportioning valve and isntall it. get some plugs... they are 10x1 ... hell some bolts would probably even work..



now this might not be something you wnat to tackle, but my 2wd doesnt have an lpsv, and its got a stock proportioning valve. there is only 1 line that runs to the rear

the cheapest route is to cut it off near the valve and tie it up so it is in same as stock position

u dont need any plugs....if u install the proportioning valve....the return line from lpsv is eliminated completely

as long as the stock valve still works, anyway.

take  the line  feeding thew lspv   and  route it  directly  to your  rear  axle  brake line,  done deal

  Then the return line is left open.  You would have to plug the return or do some re-routing up front

Here ya go check this out. That's the way I went, made a bracket just like the one that Black Diamond paid $20 for and it only cost me $6. I liked this idea because you can still use it as a proportioning valve just by adjusting it.

Might I ask why you want to ditch it?

If you drive it on the street you need it, or at least a proportioning valve.  If you don't have it, when you get on the brakes the rear WILL lock up and you WILL swap ends.

It's there for a reason. You guys should know that Toyota engineers don't put stuff on these trucks "just cuz".

Now, if it's trail only, go to town. But it will change the way your brakes respond.

Once you are running a lift and big tires, the LSPV does not work properly anymore.  Using an adjustable bracket you are able to "dial in" the brakes to work well most of the time. Many peole don't even notice a difference after the modification is done. It does work fine to cut the rod and just leave it at that, too.
