nice to see everyones opinion!! still think the line lock would work tho. and i do park on a hill every night and my e-brake cables froze since it's winter and she never ends up in the street with her just being in gear.......

Someone needs to step up and try it. I'd gladly tell everyone it works, and my worries are just from hanging out with Murphy constantly :)

hey DIY4X sells a kit FOR $140 and says that you have to use there roters, and great lake off road wants $79 for brackets that sounds kinda expensive for brackets

the nicer kits i have seen comes from Twizted Engineering Home Page i have ordered a bunch of stuff from them and diyx and i would have to say twizted engineering rear disc swap is much easier and more complete.

An electric line lock will get hot with current going through them. The b&m one I bought for my S10 said 1 min of on time max. Just my .02. :c:

Only one catch- You have to source your own E-brake brackets.... already checked that route :dang:

Looking at the DIY4X site they show mounting plates different for the Dually 70....

I'm going to contact them directly today and see what ,other than the mounting bracket is different....?

Great thread.....And I will be using e-brake style calipers....Guess I gots to start looking for Caddies in the local yard.....

What years' do these need to come off...Any one know...?

Thanks, John.

twizted enginering doesn't have anything for a dana 70 that i could finde:dang::dang: i really would like to do this swap, but i can't hardly finde the stuff for the caddy's rear calipers:argh::argh: and working e-brakes would be really nice siince my inspection mechanic(my uncle) said he wouldn't pass it unless the cables were hooked up

This is where I got my rear disc conversion stuff ~ EGR Performance Brakes, brakes for Dodge, Ford, Chevy, GMC, Tahoe, Yukon, Excursion, Dakota, Durango or whatever you drive.
