One Ton Brake Help please
Hi all. I picked up an 87 30 4x4 5.7FI this weekend at a local auction.
![]() It has a brake issue, and the mechanic that diagnosed it told me it was the proportioning valve. Unfortunately, no parts stores seem to list them. Anyone been through this? Know where I can pick one up online? Is there another style I can switch to without ridding the truck of the hydraboost? Any help is appreciated, and I thank you in advace. BTW the truck came with a Boss V-plow!! ![]()

Re: One Ton Brake Help please
When replacing brake lines on my truck (blew both fronts and rears when testing the hydroboost conversion) I couldn't get the old lines off the proportioning valve, and routing the lines would be a major PITA anyways, so I opted for a simple T-ee block for the front brakes and a manual brake bias adjusting valve for the rears, this way when I tow something heavy I can increase the pressure to the rear brakes, while still being able to drive empty in rain and stuff on half-pressure so to not lock up the rear wheels. Here's a link to my brakes gallery:
