If you're going to custom mod a dual master cylinder setup, why stop there? Heck, make it a 3 master cylinder setup. Run extra hard lines to the rear-rear if needed. That way you don't have to worry about proportioning valves at all. And you would have triple redundant brakes.:razz:

Ah, because they are full floating axles. I get it now. Just the little center cap dust cover thingy needs to be replaced with a splined axle long enough to have the lockouts engage. Thx. The ODIRON place has axles the proper length? The axle shafts don't have a C clip in the differential...

Greetings,
This is my first post & I am very much a newbie.
I might buy an A2 this week & drive it home. From what I've read here you have to let the truck warm up 5 mins for the turbo. Plus you have to let it idle 5 mins before turning off, also for the turbo. What do you do when it's time...
