Cliffy [JD] 01-30-2002, 04:06 PM That if I had my chevy 3/4T axles under my scout I should/could just put a chevy 3/4T proportioning valve in since I think that's what my brakes need anyway. Anyone have any info on this. I know I've brought it up before, just bear with me, I have the memory of an 80 year old man with alzeheimers:( Brandonw 01-30-2002, 06:23 PM No dont use the Chevy prop valve, because the weight of the two trucks are different. I just ran my front brakeline directly into the master cylinder and ran an adjustable prop valve for the rear. They are around $40 from Summit or Jegs. Havent had any problems with the brakes yet. RustoleumWhite 01-30-2002, 06:53 PM you also should have no problems just using the stock Scout one. I have GM brakes on the front of mine (have for 5 years or so), no problem. The calipers/drums should be close enought to the stock stuff you shouldn't have a problem, if you do, then try as Brandon said and run the adjustable.... -mark Snoopy 01-30-2002, 08:03 PM Originally posted by Cliffhanger That if I had my chevy 3/4T axles under my scout I should/could just put a chevy 3/4T proportioning valve in since I think that's what my brakes need anyway. Back when GUS was still in business I bought a Scout II p-valve and Rod told me they were actually a chevy part. I had a buddy at the Chevy Dealer and he confirmed it was from a mid-70s pickup. Dont remember which one.;) Cliffy [JD] 01-31-2002, 10:18 AM Originally posted by RustoleumWhite you also should have no problems just using the stock Scout one. -mark I would except mine is bad I think. The little "valve" (or whatever it is) at the front of the prop valve is popped out and I was told that is a sign that it's no good, I tried to tap it back in but to no avail. I called light line and they want $100.00 for a "new" one. I DON'T THINK SO! I'd rather scrounge one up in a Pick-n-Pull I haven't looked at any other possibilities I was just going to start working down the line. I'm not too hot with brakes.
