Do I really need the Brake load Proportioning valve?
I have an 86 K-30 truck with duals.
It has the funky valve that sits near the rear end and changes (supposedly changes) the brake proportioning when a heavy load compresses the springs. The sack of worms is leaking fluid pretty bad. I really don't want to replace it. Can I just remove the darn thing. The linkage on mine is bent anyway and it can't be working correctly, besides which, I have such a huge spring pack, it would take like 3 tons to make the springs move. There must be 12 springs in the main pack and 8 in the overloads. Yes it rides like a tank....No, probably worse. Thanks in advance
