I ordered my disk brake bracket and i was only charged $15.00 shipping. I also recieved my steering bracket from Offroad Design today. I thought it was very well constructed (even though they dont make them). I first lubed all the bolt threads on the steering box and cross member bracket...

I think It is important to conciser, that you are right Superbuickguy, that the rear disk brakes aren't just a bolt on. I think even if you do any disk brake job, you should check run-out, and if the pads are parallel.

Let me expand on what I have said before, I will do the disk conversion with the nicer bracket with the best parts I can find (I would do it that way with drums also). I will ditch the e-brake and use my automatic transmission. I will test the line lock to see how long it holds and such. When...

My plan is to buy brackets and fit them if i dont like how it is, then i will let this site know.

I live in Nebraska, I have had many manual vehicles in my life and I use parking brake for warm-up and that is it. When I start a vehicle I take it out of gear and apply brake warm it up and then leave. I have many problems here with freezing parking brakes on old and new vehicles.

With everything purchaced from the same local auto parts store and allowing $150 to be spent on the brakcets, and not including a brake proportioning valve, the disk set-up was $305.95. The drum set-up, I would still have to clean up the very rusty dust cover was $264.94.

i would have if i knew the welded one was for the other side. As far as running, my suburban ran great at the place i bought it from, i parked it to fix some tail light issues and started it up and the pressure was good. By the second or third starting i lost my oil pressure. i havent tore...

Sorry for chopping up your quote. I have read lots of stories of brackets bending and that scares the piss out of me. With that said i am also one who likes to over think, over plan, over do, and over spend if you cant tell. I have found the bracket i am going to buy and try. Its almost...

However the suburban drives really quiet

The other thing i like about the k5 is it goes topless and has a tighter turning radius

I was waiting for you to bring that quote up. I was reading that today btw nice m1009. Truth be known i have a suburban that is a 6.2 and the motor is blown with a bad oil preasure from a cam shelling. I have a replacement motor that i stripped off all the extras and put a j code intake on...

My progress for this week. My injector testester came in and I will post some pics when I get home. I ordered 8 new injector tips including the sealing washer and gasket from e-bay for $66.00. I also was in luck ORD has their Steering braces on sale for $110 reg $130, I have one coming also.

Sorry, The whole axle just drop in like the 3/4 ton does.

I have the rear end already. I was reading about them today. Do they just drop in or do you have to move the brackets?

I appreciate your input. 1. Roof rack: Space will be my biggest factor, with 2 adults and 3 children. I don’t like the thought of having a spare on the top, that’s why I wanted on the back. I know it would fit inside. 2. Front bumper: Nothing to add 3. Rear bumper I was also thinking on...

I already did the headlight mod but kept the facory headlights for now. I had really no choice my 30 amp fuse kept getting hot and melting.

I pulled this from the ck5 K5DREAMER"Now, at this junkyard i couldnt find a FF axle (D60/D70/14bff) with disk brakes... however i found what i think is a 3/4 ton 14bsf axle with 8 lugs and the DIH disk brakes. It was marked as coming off of a 2000 GMC truck. I worked for a while, and managed to...

The bearing size is the same, im checking on the other measurements.

i was reading that its best to find a 14 bolt ff from a early 2000 and rob all the disk parts. That way you get a good e-brake and disk. You are right the Eldorado conversion is problematic, they are not self adjusting and prone to failure. The driveline brake cant be used for an emergency...

I guess I'm back to square one.
