odd steering wheel movement
So as I'm coasting straight down the road my steering wheel alignment is good and the vehicle does not pull after right. When I apply the brakes the steering wheel turns about an eighth counterclockwise. But the vehicle does not pull to the left or the right at all. if I give it heavy...- usar17

Caliper upgrade?
So all switched over. Bled the brakes and the pedal was nice and firm. Started the truck and now it goes to the floor easily and the brakes suck... Bled it again while the trucks running and still ****** :/ what did I screw up?? Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Caliper upgrade?
I know the valve you're referring to, I'm debating installing one but currently the manual valve is a huge help. I'm about to install the larger jb7s upfront. I'm just asking if I should throw jb7 in the rear or keep them Jb6. I don't haul a ton. And the main thing I tow is 6,000 of pontoon... -
Caliper upgrade?
would there be any reason why I should not upgrade the rear brakes on my 14 bolt full floater with disc brake conversion to the jb7 style calipers? Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Caliper upgrade?
So I swapped in Hydroboost, converted dear 14bolt FF to disc with JB6 calipers, added a manual brake fluid proportioning valve in for the rear line, front axle is 8 lug gm 10 bolt with JB6 calipers. Can I just swap out the front Calipers and rubber hoses to JB7 for better braking? Or do the... -
Rear brake issue after hydroboost
Adding the manual proportion valve was gold! Fixed a lot of issues as I dialed it in. Thank you!!! Swapping the front brake calipers to the 3/4 tons, is it as simple as just the caliper and the hose? Since I believe the banjo is different Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Rear brake issue after hydroboost

Rear brake issue after hydroboost
I only put in the hydroboost/master cylinder. The proportioner was an aftermarket for GM trucks Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -

Rear brake issue after hydroboost
4-5 years ago I swapped in the hydroboost unit from a newer Chevy commercial van. I also swapped the brake proportioner out to an aftermarket disc/disc model. I have a 14bolt rear with disc brake conversation that has the 1/2 ton front discs. Since doing all this I have had constant issues... -
Side window defrost add?
Poked around the salvage yard. Most Chevy side vents clip on to the dash and have a premolded air channel. Luckily i found these on a 2000-something Altima. This should work perfect clip into our dash and use a pre-heater hose as duct work. Now just need to brainstorm a means of tying into the... -

Down the road planning vortec/4l80 swap
Or at this point will it be the same effort to do a 5.3L LS swap with a 4L80E? I feel the early vortec would be a little simpler. Lol also debating switching to manual and grabbing a nv4500. I'm currently so indecisive on what to do next. Looking to make my truck a little more DD friendly...- usar17
