Pedal Ratio: When & How To Measure And Adjust It

[@laserdad]

Great explanation on pedal ratio.

[@PerpetualProjects]

Thank you!

I love the use of safety squints while grinding. Exactly how I practice safety. The truck is coming along nicely Sir.

[@PerpetualProjects]

Thank you, I am happy with the progress. Safety squints are my go to as long as I can avoid grinding directly at my face. 🤣

Same here I wear proper gear and end up visiting the optometrist . Getting stuff ground out of my eye.

[@PerpetualProjects]

I have been there.

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day

[@PerpetualProjects]

Thanks for watching! Hope you have an awesome day as well

Master fabricator at work! That's awesome work.. I even understood some of what you were talking about!

[@PerpetualProjects]

Thank you. I don't know about master fabricator but I just do research and try to do my best then hopefully someone gets some value.

[@BuffsGarage]

@@PerpetualProjects isn’t that exactly how one becomes a master? Learning, practicing and eventually mastering their craft? Awesome work, doing it right.

[@BuffsGarage]

@@PerpetualProjects plus I dig the new shirt!

[@PerpetualProjects]

@@BuffsGarage that is true! Lots of practice

[@PerpetualProjects]

@@BuffsGarage Thanks! We were pretty excited about them!

[@besgar5172]

Best video yet!👍

[@PerpetualProjects]

Thank you. We appreciate your support and feedback.

[@79asspin]

Well this got me thinking. 😆

[@PerpetualProjects]

😅 yeah a lot of times it isn’t thought about and people just deal with the extra effort it takes after switching to manual brakes

[@SquarebodyStuff]

Going manual brakes is on my to do list also.

[@PerpetualProjects]

Yeah those to do lists seem never ending sometimes. But the extra space in the engine bay is definitely worth it.

[@SquarebodyStuff]

@@PerpetualProjects that's for sure

[@sebo1911]

Good video, but would've been more beneficial to have close ups when measuring pedal. Appeared you measured at an angle from pivot to pad which is not accurate. Should be measured at right angles I believe.

[@NathansMoparGarage]

Did the factory have it set up differently for manual and power brakes?

[@PerpetualProjects]

The pedal is stamped with p/brk, so I image they had a different pedal for manual brakes but I don't know that for sure.

[@NathansMoparGarage]

@@PerpetualProjects I did a manual to power swap and didn't change the pedal

[@PerpetualProjects]

Going to power from manual, the pedal ratio change may not be as critical. Changing the ratio would add a little more effort but reduce the pedal travel.
