2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission bigger rear wheel cylinders for 3500 dually???

[Hootguy]

It's time for brakes all around again,,

I am wondering if there are bigger rear wheel cylinders available,,and are they worth it. .

The truck is a 1 ton dually 4X4,,i was under the impression it allready had the bigger wheel cylinders. .

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can get a set for a 1996 chevy 1 ton dually wheel cylinders they are larger and bolt right in. I wouldnt recomend doing it unless your truck is always loaded. It makes the rears lock up easy if your running an empty pick-up.

I have to disagree with the gentleman from Vegas. I did that GM wheel cylinder change and have yet to lock up the rear end. Of course I have anti-lock on the rear so that may have something to do with it. I don't know if it did a lot of good though. The best thing you can do is to keep the rear brake manually adjusted about every 2500 miles. The best (IMHO) is to go to rear disc. I haven't done it yet, but I'm on the verge. My truck stops exceptionally well, when I have the new 5th wheel behind it with 3 axles and 6 more brakes:-laf Hellva not when you have a $50,000 brake job:{

When I had my 2nd gen 95 Dodge/Cummins DRW I never found any fault with the rear brakes, nor the front brakes for that matter, whether the truck was empty or loaded with the Lance camper. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
