No more drum brakes Chevy 1500 disc brake conversion

[@sparco023]

Have you guys noticed a big difference in braking performance. I lifted my truck running on 35in tires. Truck is much heavier. It has a hard time stopping with current drum brakes on the rear.

[@speedyhq1538]

With the 33 tires it stops way better then it did before just have to be careful because now it stops better then some of the other cars and no one wants to get rear ended that’s for sure

[@khancross]

Easy going if the parts are available. But what if you have a car and not such kits are made for? You have to do all the adapters by yourself and find a disc and caliper which fits from a different car

[@Danman1972]

Some of the GMs earlier and later have disk. I'm sure you could source all from a junk yard. Maybe the same with other cars. Many didn't chance the mount for the drum backing plate when move to caliper stuff.

[@coreymcmahan7520]

What kit did you buy

[@thechoznjuan6886]

Did you find it a pain in the ass bleeding the system. I had to unbolt from the axle reposition so the bleeder was straight up then put in correct position then rebolt to axle. How did you do it

[@BrandonArcadiaDrums]

Noticed your in phoenix too. Where did you get a longer e brake cable made?

[@BrandonArcadiaDrums]

1982 Cadillac Eldorado Rear e brake cable? For 06 Silverado?

[@HectorIbarra-m2m]

Did you have to add anything else or was this a direct replacement?

[@rhiannaoyster3493]

Where did you buy this?

[@zacharyramirez9047]

Does anyone know where the abs plugs back into?? Am I missing something?

[@shawng7902]

Looking into this myself. I have a low mileage 70k 2012 ltz. Why it has drum I have no idea. Only vehicle I've had i can say brakes suck! Fades worse than anything ive ever seen. Taking orig front off tomorrow for powerstop z36 kit. Ill see if it helps then do 1 or the other on back.

Thanks for the help 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@speedyhq1538]

Any time!

[@davidperry4013]

It should’ve been that way from the factory. Drum brakes fade. Disc brakes only fade under high performance driving conditions unless they are slotted and drilled rotors.

[@jeimslopez8089]

Cool video thanks

[@FranciscoJimenez-df7by]

Where did you get the parts?

[@osvanyrodriguesluis6071]

[@kameronsolorzano5190]

What about the abs system do you just not have it in the back or would you have to add abs and reflash the ecu to add that?

[@speedyhq1538]

Abs works great

[@benitopalomino1873]

What new brake pads in future ?

[@michaelashby868]

Did you have to up grade your master cylinder?

[@speedyhq1538]

No

[@garcia8973]

What and where did you hook the e brake up

[@speedyhq1538]

We are going to have longer cables made to hook up and we will show that when we get the new cables

[@KountryKouple4Lyfe]

Get them cables yet?

[@garcia8973]

No I haven’t yet

[@raycox1971]

I am going to have to have longer cables made up as well... where are you sourcing them?@@speedyhq1538

[@jeimslopez8089]

Who uses the E break? Lol

[@jackenobi3838]

Cant help but think you did everything on the wrong side.

[@laynefournier4708]

Need to get yourself a torch and heat that thing up

[@omarvillalobos4876]

i had just bought a kit for my silverado and it isn’t bleeding is it some other problem or is it the brakes ?

[@Monster0wen]

Did you hook up your brake lines with an actual bolt or banjo bolt lol

[@omarvillalobos4876]

@@Monster0wen yes i used the banjo bolt that came in the kit also i opened some lines before it connects to the caliper and no fluid was coming out

[@builtbychino]

@@omarvillalobos4876did you get it figured out? I just ordered the kit

[@KountryKouple4Lyfe]

Same mine just came in

[@Alertspade]

Can someone help me with this can’t get it to bleed properly even tho I rotated the caliper

[@KSsoundguy]

Lol dude. Try your break over. How long did this actually take you? Hahaha

[@juliojhonatanislasojeda1604]

Dónde puedo conseguir ese kit?

[@speedyhq1538]

littleshopmfg.com

[@hydrostream8954]

Impact dude

[@Bazookafist408]

Parking brake??????

[@princetchalla2441]

Some kits are more expensive but offer the e brake attachment. You kind of have to find one that suits what you want. Or keep it stock and suffer the drum brake setup.

[@5packplus2]

So what happens to the e-brake?

[@speedyhq1538]

After having new cable a little longer the e-brake works

[@Bazookafist408]

Where does it wire to tho??? My truck has this but 0 parking brake I park on incline so I think I’m gunna convert it back

[@LandonHesteande-o4j]

He had a broken stud lol

[@Terry-lu2dr]

Worthless video. No caliper install remove, No brand.

[@speedyhq1538]

Thanks for the view
