Rear tires did not stop the truck?

I was parking and the two front tires hit ice. Truck basically slid into the curb. I backed up and tried it again. As the truck was hitting the ice I looked back at the rear tires and they just kept rolling. The brakes were all looked at a shop approximately a month ago. Everything that needed replaced was.

Any one have an idea for this?

Does your park brake work?

 

this, or did you do the BPV relocate after you lifted?

 

I unfortunately did not. I have seen the mod for it. This is the thing that goes on the axle right? And my park break works, but I doubt it would work on a steep hill.

 

yep, i think that might be your problem, the closer the end of that ting is to the bed, the more power the rear brakes get.
it's really easy to build a bracket, heres mine i made.

 

Could you brake that down for me? Looking at it for my truck, would like to know what i am looking at.

stock size vs my up to 4'' bracket.
the valve is located on the rear axle, on the pass. side of the pumpkin.
that little rusted piece bolts up to the axle, and all you have to do is take a piece of metal, drill 2 holes that will bolt up to the axle, and then you want the top of the valve (round thingie) to be raised up the same amount of inches as you lifted the rear.

sorry if that's confusing, i'm bad at explaining stuff.

 

No problem thanks! I like the idea i have some stuff that i need to raise and move up this might work +1

 

You need the BPV bracket. IF you can't fab one, grab one of Jerry's at BAMF. not expensive and VERY hefty and versitle.

 

Unfortunately I don't have spare metal laying around. Probably will do this when I head back home for the break!

 

x2 on the BAMF bracket.

Beefy as fuck

 

Yep. Can be used as an optional weapon during the apocalypse.

 

So when the world Just goes to sh$t beat a bit#h with a mounting bracket i like it. ^.^

 

How is it to install? Like obviously not the two nuts but the actual valve. Did it help your braking?

Freaking right! I'll take anything I can when that time comes!

 

besides me punching the axle because of 13 year old nuts, it's easy to do. I've installed 3...each one took roughly 5 minutes to do.

take off 2 nuts holding the bpv on the axle
install the bracket
install the bpv to the bracket
done

I noticed improved rear brakes, esp when under load

 

Thanks man! Ill have to give it a look!

 

I really thought he said he punched a 13 year old in the nuts.
