Re: Rear brake conversion kit
Gotta agree with a lot of what Escondidotundra says here. I had an 80 Chevy Silverado "Big 10" 2WD bought new. Long story short, bed and trailer full of green firewood going down a hill with both feet on the brakes, tranny in 1st, pulling on the steering wheel for leverage and the brakes pouring smoke I got it to stop. We let the brakes cool off for a while (6'er of Hieneken worth) and then drove 100 miles home. No warping. I never turned those rotors in 120,000 miles. I only sold because I kept getting it stuck. 2wd=1wd when you're in the sh##t!
