Jester Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 You got the video too?? I took it. :lol: I tried posting it here using PB but I did something wrong. Al posted what I send him in a text. It had to resize it. Perhaps that is where the quality got lost. 1 Quote Link to comment
Anderson521 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Resolved my rear brake issue, i bought the Italian made cylinders which I hear aren't the best but they do come with y's. Maybe in a couple years when they crap out I'll get the Isuzu rear set up. 1 Quote Link to comment
Anderson521 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 So perhaps someone knows what's up. My passenger front brake cylinder has only a banjo bolt in the the back with no bleeder. Driver front has a bleeder. Question: is this normal? I really am thinking not because how the fuck am I supposed to bleed it? Anything would help 1 Quote Link to comment

Anderson521 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Pulled driverside front drum and the springs were snapped. Needless to say I might as well go with disc brakes at this point 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 So I've currently got 4:88s in the rear which is lower than most, believe me when I say I want a beefier diff, I just don't get how the rear end shop came up with that price. It's cutting the tubes, rewelding them and cutting new splines on the axles. The H-190 ring is almost 7.5" diameter. The more gears you try to cut on it the thinner they are. The thinner the weaker. A 4.875 has 39 teeth that are about .6" wide. On a 9" differential they would be .725" wide 1 Quote Link to comment
Anderson521 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Put it this way, the open diff will break inside way before the case does. They also come in ratios 3.364, 3.545, 3.70, 3.90, 4.11, 4.375, 4.625, 4.875 The aluminum case can be 4.875 or 4.375 if from L520 or PL521. Steel... 3.364 through 4.625 were in 720s Steel... 4.11 through 4.625 were found in the 620 All truck diffs have the 29 spline side gears that will take the truck axles. Many of the 2wd 4 cylinder D-21 trucks also use this diff. I'm sure an 8th will make a substantial difference to the strength of the gears. So if I follow correctly if I were to use a higher ratio gear set the teeth would be thicker? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 On the same diameter differential the fewer teeth the thicker they would be. The H-190 4.875 would be 39 tooth. The 3.889 have only 35 teeth on the ring gear. The 39 tooth would have gears that are 0.602" wide The 35 tooth would have gears that are 0.671" wide. Not much wider but going to a 9" differential the same number of teeth would be 0.725 wide. 1 Quote Link to comment

Anderson521 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 So anyone out there have any luck sourcing new brake bulb housing and wires? I've been looking and there's a few that look close like I might be able to file down the notches. 1 Quote Link to comment

svo521 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Resolved my rear brake issue, i bought the Italian made cylinders which I hear aren't the best but they do come with y's. Maybe in a couple years when they crap out I'll get the Isuzu rear set up. where is your e brake strut? just wondering because I have tried running without,and learned that it keeps the wheel cylinders from sitting under spring tension when not in use. also made a huge difference in adjustment. Not sure If you can get them to adjust up without it but I figured I would let you know my experience with them. 2 Quote Link to comment
Anderson521 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yeah they're not in there, I figured it'd be okay and I can't find anyone that sells em. Did they not handle as well without the arm? 1 Quote Link to comment
svo521 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I didnt try to see if they would adjust without the strut. I knew putting them back in would reverse the problem so I just did that. The lever has to remain to keep the strut in proper location. Worse case you wont be able to adjust them all the way to spec and they will take a couple pumps to get them in contact with drum. If you are still in need of the struts when I swap in some Beef I can give you my old ones. 1 Quote Link to comment
Anderson521 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 That'd be really cool! It appeared they adjusted okay but we'll see when it's finally on the road 1 Quote Link to comment

Anderson521 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thank you dude. I have the same problem. two of my sockets are toasted. I'm just happy to pass the info along! Only thing you gotta do if you want them really secure is make a baby notch in the bulb housing fingers where they click into the plastic. But the housings were like 2.99!
