I've been having this issue with one wheel on my 92 for 3yrs...It always adjusts more than the pass side rear wheel. Not to the point of smoking but still a PITA. I replaced the cables and hardware - still does the same thing....I've learned to live with it I guess, one of my trucks "quirks"....Goes back to the whole theory..-Showtits or tires -it's going to give you trouble and it will be expensive...:D

Same wheel im having trouble with.maybe if I fix it itll help you.this customer is a mason so this truck is always loaded heavy with bricks, blocks, sand, tools, trailer loaded with blocks and 5 guys riding in the cab with idiots driving it so its gotta be fixed right.no room to deal with it on this one.

I will just have to play with mine sometime to get a better feel for how it works.
I'll definitely keep following though for if/when any of mine do it.

I'm hoping you do find something, I'll be watching. My truck is usually loaded with something or hauling the trailer. It stops ok at 8500lbs empty but I think I'm going to install hydroboost when I do the PSD swap. I have everything but the hoses here. My buddy put it on his 1-ton dump truck and said it was the best change he's made.

Definately do the hydro! I finally did mine over the summer.I haven't driven it yet but moving it around the yard the brakes feel sooooooo much better.I need to change my brake pedal, need one from an auto f450.

What is the difference in the brake pedals???

HOLY Shamolie...where U been...long time no see..rofl...

It depends on the cab what difference if any there are in the pedals

OBS no diff

Brick Nose...The pin on the arm is about 1" lower (closer to pedal) for Hydro boost
