Do you guys like...

    hydro boost brake upgrade

    Installed a hydro boost out of an f250 over the weekend, 84 hj60, definitely a great upgrade, can lock the 35's at 60mph if desired. Should help hold it on those gnarly hills, where it always was a struggle to stop it rolling backward

    Rear eBrake boot replacement? And other rear brake components

    Swapped a FF FZJ80 axle under my truck and now I want to freshen up the rear brakes. Looking online it's difficult to find a complete kit. The boots on the backing plates where the ebrake cable enters are toast. Do they sell replacement boots? Is there a good complete kit out there for all the...

    Brake/abs pump assy experiences

    I purchased a 1999 lx470 and the previous owner replaced the brake/abs pump assy before I aquired it. I am not getting any alarms nor is it leaking fluid, but that being said the pump is rather noisy and it pumps the system up like every third brake pedal pump. Is this normal?

    Rear parking brake

    My 97 had the parking brakes gutted. Does anyone know where I can get instructions for a rebuild? I hear most people rip them out and just go without because of the poor design and when the corrode they basically implode. What are your suggestions?

    Brake cylinder blew - leaking all over the place.

    So, I think my brake cylinder is shot. I mean its clearly shot. A few days ago I replaced my front brake shoes and adjusted the brakes all around. The old ones were installed backwards, and one was chipped. The cylinders are also reversed, but I have just been adjusting them in reverse...

    Disc Brake Backing Shield Elimination

    Anyone used the SOR disc brake backing shield elimination kit? Second full brake job in 3 years, one caliper piston seized. Same three years ago. I drive on a lot of dirt roads (VT) and surely this contributes to all the wear. I also did not use OEM calipers and discs but the best NAPA...

    What the ultimate brake setup?

    A little background I'm on 315s and had leaking and worn factory brakes. So a few months ago I fixed the leak and put on stop tech slotted rotors and the centric fleet pads. So far the performance is better but still just meh... I'm getting ready to add armor and drawers so I want this thing...

    Brake Tail lights (only) won't turn off

    Hey guys, I have read the threads on the dash brake lights but mine only (correctly) is on when I use the emergency brake. I have great vacum now as I re-built the vacuum pump. The brakes work great actually. I even unbolted the booster from the firewall and then the master cyclinder from the...

    Brake pad plates x2?

    im still getting familiar to my new to me 100 (2000). I had a shop do CV and had them do the brakes while they were in there. Normally I'd do it myself. Got it back and the brakes are now squeaking while driving which really frustrated me. Took the brakes apart tonight and found what appears...

    Drum brake knocking

    My 73 has stock drums all around. I know one of the front right shoes has a bit of a chip in it, replacements are on the way. I also suspect the front right drum itself is a little warped. What I am noticing - very slight oscillation on the brake pedal at higher speeds when braking. When...
