Re: Brake Problem

I'll keep that in mind if the proportioning valve is bad.
Thanks

All the other brake parts (master brake cylinder, rotors, calipers, pads, drum covers, spring kit, and shoes, everything new except lines) came from Oreilly. I could probably stand to replace the rubber parts, too. Check the rubber brake line on the rear axle, it could be deteriorating.

My truck stops really nicely now- but after I put all the new parts in I still had to blow compressed air through the lines, then rebleed, to get it to work right. My problem was that the rear brakes didn't seem to work at all even though everything was brand new. You might want to try that, too. Sorry for the rambling post.
