| 1320Fastback | It is well worth it for sure. I recently finished my conversion off including bypassing the ABS the truck stops so much better. |

We replaced the driver's side today. The Advance Auto version is a wca35325 (driver's side) and they are 1-1/8" bore for a 12x3 brake shoe. The one I took off the truck is a 7/8" bore. We measured both...the 1-1/8" fit fine on the 12x2.5" shoes. As you can see, it was a worthwhile thing to do...one pin was almost seized, and it was rusty. I would recommend this to anyone who does not know the maintenance history of their ride. Adjusted both sides up, have a solid pedal now...    Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

The first gen diesel truck is listed wrong in most parts houses computers for anything suspension wise, heck even oreillys lists a spark plug for the diesel. But they also list a radiator cap for a Corvair so you really can’t trust them.

I assumed 12x2 was a gasser, the reason I went with 12x3. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk |

See that really threw everyone at Advance Auto, their books show a 12x2 and a 12x3 option, no 12x2-1/2.

I chose 12x3 since I was confident it was 12x2, so I may just go buy another one of those for the other side and call it a day. I still need to replace hoses... What is the bleeding procedure for that ABS? Is it in the FSM? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

No need to modify anything like with the GM cylinders. Most upgrade to 1 316 cylinders, look for listing of 94 e250 i think. |
