Colorado B.S. Thread

Jace my buddy has a lifted 88 Toyota truck. He can't figure out why his rear brakes won't work just the front. It's a trail rig so he does not drive it much. Well at all right now.

 

If you don't want them I may be interested. I don't really have that in the budget right now but if the deal is good enough I may be able to work something out to get some nice chiney aftermarket wheels on my rig.

Have him check the park brake. Have him set and release it a whole bunch of times as the shoes in the drum's shoes may have just un-adjusted themselves somehow. Not really something that happens often but that's what it sounds like to me since it's just the rears. The boosters are set up diagonally (despite what Hollywood tries to convince you) so that if you do lose a line you will still have one front and the opposite rear. If they've just out of adjustment setting the parking brake and releasing it several times will make the self adjusters ratchet them back into place.

 

What are the details? All I saw was the two pictures you posted at the top and I guess I missed the discussion about them. Are they local? What size are they and do they include tires? Hit me up with the deets!

 

That's kind of what I figured but thought I would ask. What size did you say they were? My life will be here this coming week so I would likely buy these wheels and then set them aside until I could afford to put some rubber on them.

 

He has a load sensing proportioning valve for the rear. It detects if you have weight in the back and adjusts how much brake to apply in the rear. If the truck is lifted, it's detecting no weight an therefore no brakes. You'll have to relocate the lspv or just install a regular prop valve. Google can get you more info, I'd elaborate but I'm on my phone.

 

Ahhh.. I didn't even think of an LSPV so yeah, that's your culprit right there.

 

Thanks guys he's gonna look into it! I told him to get in here and ask. He was skurred.

 

20's are a little too big IMO

 

Oh, I missed that part. 20" may be a bit too big for my Tacoma. I'll let you know if I change my mind. You should definitely throw them on your Tundra though.

 

That's true.
