I do.

 

Actually, I searched on "One Ton"

That was the part number everyone here listed.


Even 10 yards would work. Just doing it once a month or so will be fine.

 

Just so I'm clear...were talking about these cylinders?

I haven't quite worked out the "best" deal on prices yet. Still have to key in all the coupon codes to see which ones yield the best returns. Until then it's all prep work, besides there is no snow on the ground yet, and you just can't work outside on the ground with out some snow to sit in. or drop bolts in.

Don't get hung up on price over quality.

 

I don't get to hung up on price...well, ok, maybe I do. But I try to keep the quality up while sourcing out different vendors. RockAuto is killing me with their shipping though. I'd rather pay a few dollars more than get raked over the coals on shipping. $50 in shipping is terrible. I'll gladly spend a few days shopping around the same parts for a better deal on shipping.

 

So know there is three of us.

 

@VW Mastah!! Yes indeed I've learned from such particular keyword searches. What I've come up to is that the 1-ton upgrade for 1500 is not really a significant boost for me. 2000 has dual piston front calipers. I don't tow. I do run 35"-ish shoes though. Based on the threads I've read and the particular wheel cylinder (albeit minor) design change post-1998, I'd see a benefit with 37" shoes and higher.

I think I'll stick with just 1/5 ton wheel cylinder, replace in kind. Perhaps my thread research is off, but it entailed the following thus far:

Not saying the upgrade is invaluable, just looking at its benefit for my rig's usage. I am going to get braided brake lines though.


Remember folks, 2000 and 2001 have slightly different wheel cylinder design as the cable comes into the housing.

 

1/5-ton??


Even without towing, the larger diameter cylinders are a more affordable and effective mod than upgrading to rear calipers. My truck will literally screech to quick halt when the brakes are quickly applied in an emergency situation. If you've ever noticed a lot of Dodge trucks with wrinkled front bumpers it's due to the stock anemic braking.

 

There is no dispute there.

That would be the expectation without saying.

False.

Wrinkled bumpers are a result of following too closely or not braking soon enough before that embankment.
