Proportioning valve crumbling and falling apart, need help with new part

heres my proportioning valve, or whats left of it at least. im looking for new parts and there are some on Amazon for $20 and https://shorturl.at/fiqs6 , https://shorturl.at/dgkxI and others that are above $100 https://parts.toyota.com/p/Toyota_2...-Proportioning-Valve/63094596/4791035330.html , https://shorturl.at/xTWY3

whats the difference? and some others have replaced it with a manual adjusting valve. Any advice or tips? thanks

 

How's the frame

 

You park this thing in the ocean or something?

For the love of god don't buy car parts from Amazon.

Try something like car-part.com. There are a few others that are basically online wrecking yards. You can find a lot of used parts that were pulled from junkyard trucks.

Honestly tho, I'd be more worried about the condition of your frame...

 

Not too bad but im going to be sand blasting and painting all of it.

 

i just posted a few pictures. i doesn't look bad imo but im going to be sandblasting and painting

 

I mean, I've seen worse, lol...

The inside of the frame is usually the worst. So pay close attention to where the front leaf hangers are. If you can get a camera inside the frame to see, that'd be good.

But even if your first pic, the frame is pealing. i.e. it's compromised. Once you remove all the rust and are comfortable with the inside of the frame, you might consider safeTcaps.

took some more pictures

is there a good way to clean out the inside of the frame? and i found the part on car-parts.com

 

Yeah, that's certainly not the worst I've seen, but that's not great either.

There have been a lot of threads on frame rust and how to deal with it. Search around. Hopefully you'll find what you need.

 

oof i don't like some of that

what part of the country are you located?

i am using an air hose to clean out mine all the peeling garbage coating inside there

ok thanks for your help

 

thanks! im new here do i appreciate the help

 

welcome to TW
i only learned about this bad frame stuff from TW a little over a year ago, never seen this bad stuff before, not ever!

 

that's defiantly the worst spot, but with inspection from a hammer it sounds solid

 

vehicle was in Wisconsin for 15 years, now in Illinois. but ill be living in the UP for college

 

i am on the other side of Iowa on Missouri river, so fairly close!

 

whats your plan for the inside of the frame?

 

Don't bother replacing it. Just get rid of it

you can bypass the valve completely and choose to add or not a manual one in its place. It's up to you really

Upper line is the IN while the lower line is a return line that sends excess pressure and fluid back to the front brakes. Facing the differential is the OUT of the valve, where it connects to a rubber flex line that sends fluid to a splitter then to both wheels

Connect the upper line (the line for the IN) to the rubber flex line (where the OUT connects to) and cancel the return line as it will no longer be needed. It comes from a splitter located inside driver's wheel well.

If you want to add a valve:
Get a 1 IN 1 OUT like this


https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g3905

Install it next to the master cylinder. Line from the master going to the rear goes to the IN, then OUT goes to the rear wheels (where the original valve's OUT connects to the rubber flex line above the differential).

 

isnt is advantageous to have it though? if im hauling something i want more breaking power to go to the rear wheels.
