I converted my 1992 Chevy Silverado rear drum system. Just like he said you don't need to pull the axles. You do have to grind the edges of the calipers as it will rub on the inside on the chevy rims. MAN I LOVE MY NEW BRAKES - THAN YOU FOR AN EXCELLENT VIDEO

[@nordiccowboy3430]

I like that they provide a list of off the shelf parts that make it much cheaper than the other complete name brand kits. If you breakdown on a road trip you can easily make a repair.

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

@@nordiccowboy3430 definitely one of the reasons I chose the kit. Years later I'm still happy with it. It's not perfect but it's definitely an improvement.

[@rookiewoodshop]

The editing to this video, in an attempt to consolidate, what must have a significant amount of recording, is fantastic. Hats off to you sir. Thank you. Great info. 😎

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

Really appreciate this comment. Few people realize how many hours and effort go into editing these videos. Thank you!

[@vforveracity7487]

Maybe the best editing I've seen in a how to video. This was fantastic.

[@ferrariguy8278]

Thank you for putting together such a well done straight forward video. Full concise but complete instructionals such as this are rare and appreciated. That alone makes it worth the sub. I don't mind entertaining instructionals, but having one that goes efficiently and completely (not ignoring details) from A to Z is very refreshing.

[@justinchurch8440]

Dude…… nice job man!! Love how you worked around little issues, drilling/tapping etc. I’m a toolmaker/machinist and super picky about who I take info from on projects. Getting ready to convert my rear drum to disc on 1993 GMC K2500. Learned about Cunningham Machine and bunch of other stuff from this video, thanks man!!

Great video!! I feel your knowledge in your explanation could have and install was awesome and would have helped some of us not that savvy. But what you did show was great and I completed this conversion in 11 hours. thanks bro.

[@heathice]

Great content and excellent pacing to speed up the standard repairs that aren’t specific to this install.

[@rpa-adrianrachels.9793]

You did a very good job describing every part of the install... Now I want to do my own 2 door Tahoe!!😂

Solid video man! Probably the most helpful conversion video that I have seen.

[@comaradelee]

love the video. straight to the point. no long talks

[@donsgotmoney]

Great video, its what I have been looking for. I own a c2500 with 6 lugs and a 14 bolt rear, and this kit would be a perfect fit. Thanks for sharing.

[@hoffmanshaven]

Awesome video!! Well done. My 1997 is bone stock. I completely rebuilt the brake system 2 years ago. The brakes ar excellent and the truck stops like it should. The 1997 has 4 wheel antilock. No sponginess. I will stick with what i got but wanted to compliment your video.

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

@@hoffmanshaven I appreciate it, you are correct. When drum brakes are setup properly and have good working parts they function well.

Added to my GM How to library. Thanks a ton for all of your work.

[@cageordie]

This answers a lot of questions I had. Great video, just the information, no garbage. Drum brakes totally suck and have no place in this century. But that 'spacer' on the pad is an anti-squeal shim and should have been left there, it wasn't added for fun.

[@pulpo.r7790]

Nice video. Good stuff. I bought a kit from lugnut 4x4. Haven’t done the swap yet. Now that I saw this video. I’m going to need brake line and a brake line bender and hopefully don’t run into any snags. Great video.

[@manuelhuerta5515]

I’m converting the brakes on a K10. A different set up of course, but still many helpful tips. Good, concise video. Thanks

[@landmanhall]

Wow! Clear pictures, proper and complete commentary and great editing. I subscribed halfway through the video. I wish more videos were like this one! This is the best I have found on rear disks for an OBS hands down. Great job! Going to start gathering parts for my 94.

[@stableyetfun]

Thanks for posting the video. I recently bought a 93 OBS. This will defiantly be on my list as the stock breaks are marginal with a 350cu swap.

[@michaellong6695]

Do you have a part list for this modification. Very good video. Thanks

[@Go69]

Not sure if you are still replying to videos.. but my question is... Did you end up changing out the combination valve when you swapped from drums to DISC? I've been reading conflicting information about the necessity to do this.. Some say that the combination valve between the Disc/drum and disc/disc set up ARE different and need to be changed when swapping out drums for discs.. But then there are differing opinions as well. Does anyone know the correct answer?

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

Hi. Good question. I did not change the combination valve. I used the factory one. I have not had any issues.

[@Go69]

@@KingsWeldingandAutomotive In doing more research on this I have found that on my 1994 Silverado with factory rear drums that the combination valve is designed to send pressure to the rear drums FIRST before applying pressure to the front discs. In my case, I am changing over to a disc/disc (P4) combination valve so that I get equal pressure at all 4 calipers simultaneously. This is the proper way to do it. I'm also changing over to a later master cylinder (2002 Tahoe 4 wheel disc truck) so that the entire system is correct from front to back. I'm also deleting the dump valve or RWAL valve to get rid of those first few inches of pedal travel.

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

@@Go69 thanks so much for doing this research. I can actually confirm that in an emergency the rears do lock before the fronts. I may end up changing to a disc/disc combination valve and post a follow up video. I'll highlight your comment on my video once I do. I do have the newer master cylinder you mentioned installed already. I would only be missing the correct combination valve. Thanks again bro 👊

[@elrojo4379]

I really appreciate the time and effort. I own a 94 k1500 blazer 4x4, is it worth the conversion. If anyone out there has experience with both brake systems, I would appreciate your input.

[@roberthaughton5430]

I'm probably going to stick with drums for now .. however i will be replacing the master cylinder. I have had the tail end of my truck swing out on me in wet conditions so I will be leaving the rear abs connected as well

[@ryurc3033]

Personally the biggest change in brake feel for me was stainless braided hoses in the front, and from the frame to the rear end. There have been quite a few if those trucks that I fixed that way with no other modifications, as long as everything else is working corectly

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

You bring up a good point. I should order some and install them to see if it makes a difference with the upgraded rear disk brakes.

[@BrockGrimes]

@@KingsWeldingandAutomotive If you swap to braided steel lines, make sure your brake seals are in good shape if not the added pressure will cause them to leak. Pretty common with drums and wheel cylinders, not so much with disc. Just a heads up for those who don't know.

[@Foundmylsswap]

[@sega702]

will these parts work for a 96 chevy Tahoe 2 door with a 5.7 gasoline motor? Awesome Video

[@Nobody-ut2ws]

How long did you work on it

[@kennyrogers3919]

What size brake pads do you ask for when replacing them on the aftermarket calipers?

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

When you purchase the brake pads you match them the car the replacement caliper belongs to. In this case you would ask for brake pads for a Cadillac El dorado

[@yannickvignault4686]

Great video very clean install

[@chuckkolancz4969]

Wow. Glad I found this video

[@chickenfoundation9323]

Hey got update on it? How well does the parking brake work

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

Continues to work very well. There is a small section on the pad that won't wear at all because it doesn't contact the rotor. I just replaced the pads for the first time since I installed them. The caliper returns back by turning it clockwise unlike most calipers that turn counterclockwise. It also has to be pushed in while turning. Good luck 👍

[@cuzz63]

FYI to those planning this job, if your pulling the axles you dont need to dissasemble the brakes like he did. Remove the drum and then the bolts holding the brake assembly on and it will come off as one piece.

[@KingsWeldingandAutomotive]

I meant to leave a comment on the video about this. It would have been quicker to pull as an assembly. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@cuzz63]

@@KingsWeldingandAutomotive This is actually one of the few systems I have seen where they said you dont need to pull the axles. I thought that was interesting. Cutting the backing plate off wouldnt be an issue for a torch or a good cutting tool.

I'm not really sure. They don't look much bigger than the factory drum setup. Hopefully someone else can comment on it
