valve
Thanks, Bill as I have a 95, I have looked for the proportioning vavle but did not see what I recconized as that valve a few weeks ago. I have recieved a pm from a guy who is going to try to up grade to a larger size of shoe and drum. Hopefully that idea will work, Jim

So you just got to a parts store and order the new cylinder and you can just fit it in, no adjusting, nothing else for a 94?

My turn
Well, I'm going to replace my stock wheel cylinders with the GM ver. tomorrow, I hope everything goes well. I have never bled my brakes before and a little unsure of how to go about it. I figure since I'm bleeding the back ones, I'll go ahead and flush the whole system with the gravity method since I don't have the professional tools. Any advise or tips would be great as if I can't get her back on the road I'll be stuck until I figure it out!

If you use the pump the pedal method resist pushing the pedal all the way to the floor. What happens is the master cylinder travels in an area where it doesn't go in normal braking and is often rusty. This can result in torn up seals that cause internal leaking and a mushy pedal.

Hey guys, this is a great site. I had been considering going diesel for my next truck, and just happen to mention it to a friend of mine. He told me about a dodge 2500 4x4 for sale........I went and looked at it and bought it. It turned out to be a 98 12v with 4.10 gears and a 5sp tranny. I bought it about 3 weeks ago and have upgraded to the '03 tracking bar with Darrin's kit, along with the steering stabilizer. I have also replaced the overflow fuel valve, thermostat, and just yesterday I replaced my rear wheel cylinders. Great site and thanks for all the info. I gave like $11.49 for the wheel cylinders, and they had made in U.S.A. cast into them.
