With the LSD not working right, and my brakes starting to squeal...
Looks like I am going to be upgrading some stuff...
I talked to Rick and he says Detroit is what he recommends... and he has what I need as far as the install goes. I need to order their differential install kit and the LSD.
I have tomorrow off, so he is going to pull it apart and make sure that is all I need.
so I am looking at brakes as well...

I need to see how much it will cost for ceramic pads... if its cheaper to go with the R1s with ceramic... I will do those. the other ones look cooler, but thats not what its all about...

Why not go all out and change the entire rear with one that has disc brakes? There's gotta' be something out there that would fit these pigs with only minor modifications.
Last week when my truck was at the dealer all week for service they put me in a Durango rental. It made me realize how bad I missed my 4 wheel disc brakes on my 04 Dak.

my dads 03 has 4 wheel discs on it, and i dont like them(neither does he, or my mom or anyone else i know that has driven in his truck), my truck w/ drums in the rear has about 2-3times the stopping power, i know that the 4 wheel discs are supposed to be better because they have more surface area or soemthing like that, but they just dont seem to be IMO, and then the brakes in my dads truck are really soft compared to the brakes in mine, too much push to make them grab IMO, so unless there is soemthing wrong with his brakes (which i doubt since they were the same when he got the truck BRAND NEW) i dont see the benefit of 4 wheel discs
Dak attack!

Something seems wrong with that. My dad's 02 Laramie QC Ram with 4 wheel disc is heavier than my dak and he tends to wait forever to change his brake pads (longer than he should anyway). When I first got mine he had over double the mileage on his current pads and rotors than I had on my truck and his definitely stopped better. Last time I drove it it felt about the same but he really needs new brakes.Originally Posted by shrpshtr325
