Thanks for the replies.
Is the master cylinder a little bigger on the 87 also ??? Thought I read that somewhere.
I really want to do away with the RABS, Pete sent me some info on diagnosing the problem. I'll try to tackle that when it's not so hot out. If something is amiss besides a stupid electrical connection, then I'm taking out the RABS and not even fooling with paying to replace the components.
In order to plow in the winter, I put two tons in the dump bed for traction. Without having a posi, and being 2wd, it doesn't do to bad. The only time I have traction issues is plowing heavy wet snow, and even then I have a set of short chains to throw down to get traction if I get stuck.
So, needless to say I'll have plenty of weight going down the road, and when it's really bad, I usually don't go faster than 35, 40 tops. I also slow down way ahead of time and let the motor slow me down to hold traction with the tires.
So far, every mechanic I talk to thinks I'll be O.K. with the conversion as long as I get it adjusted correctly. I also would like to mount the knob in the cab so I can adjust it on the fly if I need to.
