Hey guys, just posted in the 2nd gen no drivetrain forum--I'm trying to get a '98 24 valve through the out-of-province and I need that little proportioning rod that hooks between the rear axle and the brake proportioning valve. Even if I could borrow one for a few days just for the inspection, and wire up the lever afterward . . . . Any of you able to help out?

Even a part number would be great, nobody can figure out what I'm talking about at the parts store or the dealer . . .

 

I know it. might get it at a wreckers actually. did they call you on it already? or you think they will?

 

yeah, they already did. I have a few things to fix but the truck was worth it. I called a couple wreckers here in Edmonton and nobody had anything, but there are still a few to call.

There was quite a list of things to fix, but only two that I'm stuck on--the missing rod and the air bag light is on. I replaced the clockspring, cruise buttons work, so looks like a dealer trip for that one .

 

I would consider finding the service bulletin from Dodge, and ordering the hose that eliminates the whole load-sensing valve. Then you never have to worry again.

 

I concur, thats why I was asking if they]ve seen it yet. just get rid of the works. now if theres a TSB out for it. yank it and carry on.

 

well well. First I've heard of that--thanks guys!! Now to do some digging . . .

 

This looks like this is the TSB:

The hose p/n is in the bulletin...

That's the one, just came across it in a post here. 75% GVW and ride height altered . . . . not sure if that will fly. HMMMMMPHH. I hate out of province inspections . . .

 

jjst tell him you will be hooked to a trailer 80% of the time.

 

Yeah, it should be ok. Mebbe what I'll do just in case is go ask him about it, inform him of the TSB and get his OK on it before I go to all the trouble of opening and bleeding the brake system.
