    4bt in 1009

    All I know that the "GM" dana44 ended in in 70s and they produced a more less clone. I am curious why don't think these would hold up ? the 4bt is in the share a similar power band as 6.2 IDI if not a little less.

    Brake proportional 'valve' questions

    check the cross member under the raditator, the valve dose go bad, however it is rare. Most of time the the valve is just crapped up from mixing DOT fuilds. Its my opinion, that the system needs a flush and adjustment. Note the valve"new" is about the only thing on truck that is really hard to find.
