Personally it all comes down to cost. I think the ebrake calipers are junk. They were junk back when cadi used em on the eldo. I ran them on my conversion at first but now have a deive line ebrake and am running regular calipers.
Coat me
Ruff stuff brackets
Rotors
Calipers
New lines
Brake pads
Drive line ebrake kit from TSM
A newer axle from a 2500 or 3500 would have cost me
Perches and shock mounts from ruff stuff
Axle from bone yard or CL
Ebrake cable mods?

What is a driveline brake? Do they have kits available?
This one from Lugnutz is $379 without the ebrake calipers.

What is so bad about the ebrake calipers? Is the regular braking affected, or just the parking feature?
