Hmmm, interesting annalysis. Wife's doesn't like to drive the K-20 because she said the brakes aren't good. I've just lived with them figuring that a 30+ year old truck is going to have brake issues.

One thing that I do NOT like is the PO installed a "line lock" for a parking brake. It holds the truck for about 30 seconds, then let's her roll. No worries for me because I leave her in low gear when parked. Never had an issue.

I'd like to take the line-lock out. This may be a good opportunity to do that?

You all recommend having this work done? Or doing it myself? Never done new wheel cylinders. But then again I've just finished putting in new crate engine...can wheel cylinders be that hard?
