Help help help!!! Proportioning valve issues
Hey guys,
Anybody got a diagram for a 1992 Dakota hydraulic/proportioning valve???
Mine is leaking from the seal, and my buddy that helps me with the mechanic work is talking about loosening the valve and pushing the seal back in place for the time being. Those parts cost over $300 from the dealership and none of the other parts places can get it, aside from the fact that I can't afford it right now.
Is trying to push the seal back in even a good idea for a temp fix? The truck will brake, but I have an interview in Atlanta on Friday, I'm driving from Western NC and I know the truck is no good for bad traffic....plus I can afford to have another wreck.
What can I do to fix this for temp...if anything...PLEASE HELP!!!
I'm a dead duck in the water!!!

thanks for the reply
I always freak out too early on this stuff...but I don't like it when anything poopsout of my truck. We loosened the screws and the seal slipped right back into place, then we tightened everything back up real good. When I was fiddling with it, the screws seemed loose to begin with and so that may have caused the seal to pop out. We bled the system directly from that valve and everything is working peachy now!
