Hey,
wondering if anyone else has one of these installed in there sierra with rear disc?
I seem to be having rear steer on hard braking. I have the 4dr vit on front and sierra calipers on rear, std new mc. also the brake pedal goes down a bit then goes solid, i have read up zuwharri board of similar experience and a prop valve is a good investment.
Any good or cheaper brands to grab?

Nicbeer , are you talking about a brake bias valve which allows you to adjust braking from front to rear. Also if you are getting rear steer on heavy braking , could be a lazy calliper , Cheers Paul.

I've got a similiar one , had to adjust it to stop locking as well , mine is mounted on the inner chassis rail and to pass engineering I had to put a cover over it so that it could not be adjusted without tools , they can't go in the cab , because people can adjust them while driving , that's in NSW so see how you go , Cheers Paul.
