Soo I want to rig my E-brake so I can have a little more control of the rear end when I am off roading. Is it a bad idea to use the original ebrake or should I install something else. I am trying to do this as cheap as possible also. Thanks for any help.

 

What did you have in mind? Something like steering brakes on a buggy? If so, that would work just fine, so long as you don't have some variety of locker/LSD in the rear. If you do, you would break stuff.....

 

You're looking to do a poor man's posi? If so and you've got an automatic transmission, compare the cost of a limited-slip or a locker to the cost of a new transmission and think again.

 

Well I'm more thinking of e sliding. I can come into a really tight corner a lot faster if I can whip the back of the truck out before i get to it. Throttling on to kick the back end doesn't quite work a lot of the time because the front end will push to hard. I want to be able to lock up the rear wheels basically. I can make it work if I hold the e brake release open but I'm kinda affraid I am going to mess something up. That's why I am asking
for your opinions. When I do it my abs light and e brake light
come on.
