Now on my k20 there is a valve mechanism that conects to the axle that i guess tells the brakes how hard to engage depending on the weight(not mechanically) is there anyway to take this mechanism out or will it affect it? when my dad gave me the truck he said that a mechanic shop took the piece out and the brakes would look up immedietly so they had to instale a new mechanism
