HAS ANYONE EVER SWAPPED A REAR END ON A PRE-02 TRUCK TO AN 02 TYPE WITH THE REAR DISC BRAKES? IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE MY BACK BRAKES APPLY MORE PRESSURE? SOMEONE SUGGESTED PUTTING A 3500 WHEEL CYLINDER IN IT. HAS ANY ONE HEARD OF THIS? IS THERE MUCH DIFFERENCE IN GOING FROM 3:55 GEARS TO 3:73 GEARS?I AM SICK OF THESE DRUM BRAKES NOT STAYING ADJUSTED & KILLING MY FRONT BRAKES.

Captain, There are kits available to swap the rear brakes over to disc. I don't have time to search for you now, but I have seen the posts where it's been done.

Check this set of posts....

EGR I believe makes the kit.

As suggested in the posts, you may want to consider an exhaust brake.

I think it has been done, try searching on google. You need to make sure a get a matching master cylinder, proportioning valve, and matching abs parts???.

(I am sure of it)
