2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Disk brakes

[24vtrbo]

I am thinking about upgrading to 4 wheel disk brakes and would like to know which company sells a good system and anyones thoughts on whether it is worth the cost involved, also if the 4 wheel ABS system will need to be upgraded to compensate for the rear disks.

Thanks ,

As far as I know there is only one company that has a conversion kit-EGR. They are a site sponsor so you can find there number there. It's not cheap.

Did mine with OEM........

You'll find EGR cheap compared to that. I haven't had any problems with the ABS on my 01. Didn't help with my spongy pedal, new lines in the front are probably due for that.



Braking is way better. I can actually stop the beast now.



EGR's kits are only for 2500's, can't tell from your sig if you have one or not.

EGR Brakes

Hi Garry,



I have a set of EGR rear disc brakes on my 1992 W-250. The braking is much improved. I got the SS brake lines, and changed over to DOT 5 brake fluid. The truck stops much better. I think it was worth the money. Glenn at EGR will take care of any troubles you have. If you tow much or plan on keeping your truck for a while, I would invest the money.

Thank you for your reply and sharing your experience with the

EGR conversion. I am planning on keeping my truck at least another 5 or 6 years so it will probably be worth the money invested. I'll call Glenn for an estimate.

Talk to ERICBU12. He did the conversion on his truck and can tell you about it.

See the pics in this album, I did the Rear conv. it was a little pain but after all was done, I am impressed with them.



I also got the slotted front rotors and the Carbon Kevlar pads for the front.
