    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Well, let's assume the valve is good. Maybe a silly question, but are the longer shoes on the rear ? Rear is the secondary shoe position which is the longer shoe.

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Just slow, and hold it all the way down until both bleeder screws are closed. Be sure to make sure that the fluid level in the reservoir is OK before you do this and afterwards. Don't want to run it dry. It's a free experiment if you have brake fluid.

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    I cannot visualize why you are having to do that but it sounds like enough of a PITA that Goldie with a 4 inch lift and 33's will stay with the original General's steering design. I heartily salute your efforts, however. :patriot:

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    I think the way to look at it is that it isolates the good side and you won't lose the fluid from that side of the system. When mine failed not too long ago ( aftermarket replacement) that is what happened. I did have a low pedal as I was only stopping on the rears at the end which I think is...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Yes and no as I assume you and your helper did one wheel cylinder at a time. I am saying to open BOTH rear bleeders in an effort to emulate a rear failure and make the proportional valve spool shift over. They normally will recenter once the fault is corrected and a hard press of the brake...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Just my .02 from personal experience, but I would not change the valve as your replacement is going to be Chinesium. If you do change it , hang on to the old one. One thought might be that the valve is not centered. With a helper, try cracking the rear bleeder screws and push the brake pedal...

    1979 C10 46 Years Young - One Owner

    Welcome from Houston, Texas! Got any pics of said beastie ? :)

    Free, you pick up.

    Advantage of driving Goldie to work - I can wander out to look. Pics ! Well, of one without the shield. I am guessing that it just goes over the straps and there are nuts and bolts.

    I assume the mounting holes are already there in the frame and it's just a matter of bolting it up ? Been a while since I actually saw one in place.

    Free, you pick up.

    Well, I would see if there is a local sale 1st as less hassle for you. But, after whatever you think is a fair amount of time, you still have it ... Then we should talk routes. :anitoof: Thanks ! Britt

    Shame on that skid plate as Goldie could use it. But, shipping ... :nono:

    Think you could check to see if the rear door panels still have ashtrays ? :cool: Thanks either way.

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    That box is a gear reducer to get the ratio right for the speedo. I'd guess the drive gear in the transmission needs to be replaced but I have never done one so can't offer advice. Sorry.

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    I don't believe the cruise transducer does anything to the speedo ratio so removing it should be fine. I'd save it as there is one person here looking for one and the mount - may be able to sell it. @Oldschooler...

    Steering column bearings help

    Closest I can find is here: https://www.steeringcolumnservices.com/nontilt.php This assumes the bearing is the same between a 3 speed and an auto non tilt. Pricey little devil - Brg14 at -$113 ... :eek:

    Brake Issue

    One on top of each other- primary shoes. Looks like no difference in thickness. Gold colored rivets on the Delcos. Just informational for those interested. If the Tru Arc description is as described then those should be the better shoes IMHO.

    Brake Issue

    FYI- I got the DFCs in tonight. I had some AC Delco Golds I had bought off Fleabay a while back. P/Ns and pics - I am trying to keep the AC Delcos on the right in each pic. Contd.

    please recommend a transmission dipstick that isn’t junk.

    That happened on my 4RUNNER. Right before a road trip... Fortunately it was easy to get out, and the top half latches down so it stayed sealed.

    Howdy! Any of the 77s owner's manuals left ? I know - late to the party. :anitoof:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Worth looking into, but no quick fixes through Discount. 33 x 12.50 x 15 = 315/70R15 32 x 11.50 x 15 = 275/70R15 Neither option shows for a 15" wheel but that doesn't mean there aren't some out there. :) Side note :Amazing how QUIET the new mud grips are. The worn ones were so noisy. :eek:
