bad brakes

ok i have the truck running now (bad electrics) although i have to helicoil the head as i blew a sparkplug out, must have been crossthreaded at some time..anyway thats not a problem but my brakes are! my truck is a 2600i with abs, the rear brakes are locking up so i guess the rear brake valve anti lock thingy must be shot? so is it a case of replacing it or is it possible to fix it?

if its you abs just remove the part i have circled in the pic and replace the line with one from a non-abs truck

I like solid threaded inserts better than heli-coil for plugs, just my opinion...

yo have you pulled a drum off to inspect?...could me lots o things, bad shoes, a spring fell off..or even wheel cylinders..pull a drum and inspect

yeh you want to check all the simple mechanical things before you assume that you have electrical issues.

me too but it is only for a short while as i will be pulling the engine and fitting a diesel...have you seen the price of fuel in England !!!

as for the brakes, it has new shoes and everything seems fine, will recheck just to mmake sure, it seems ok with some weight in the back though...
