I'm BAck!
I sat down last week and made up a ten page list of things to do to my truck. I have been driving the wheels off of it and only doing the required maintenance. Most of it is pretty much bolt on and body work. However, the brakes are a challenge. I despise single piston floating calipers.

Has anyone found or know for sure where I can get four or six piston calipers and all the necessary hardware and brackets to install them on my W350 front and rear? I have searched the internet and found nothing.

I'm building a 1993 w350 on the front I'm using 2006 dodge 2500 front calipers. and c30 rotor and on the rear I have a 2006 11.5 dodge dually rear. going to narrow it to the correct with. And use hydro boost. With this setup you will have to use 17" wheels and you're gearing on the rear is 3.73 or 4.10. I think Chevy used 3.42

Had to replace the rear end last year. Went with a Jasper unit with a limited slip upgrade. So far so good but I plan on keeping the 3:54 ratio.

Any problems installing the 06 brake parts on the frontend?

Had to make my caliper stand I'm not done yet but hasn't been to bad

My rear brakes are fading out at the stop light. After reading an old tech bulletin I found I have been doing brakes wrong all my life. It seems when you compress the piston back into the caliper you push trash back into the system and it finds it's way to the RAWL modulator causing it to bypass. I will do some trouble shooting tomorrow and verify that is the problem. $181.00 part.

NAPA says obsolete part. Found one cheaper on line. Will be here Friday.

That is the reason mine rests in the scrap pile.

I need to bypass mine too. Hasn't worked since around the time I shelled the last diff!

That's definitely One of those ideas that worked better on paper than in practice
Well the government was involved in that one so................................
