Hopefully someone will reply, I have the same truck and would like to have better stopping power. I also want to go to slotted rotors on the front.

the axle under your wifes 2000 is a 10.5 Sterling rear end, similar to the rear end under your truck. The bolt pattern is different and the abs wont work.

Check superduty cargo vans they have rear disks and are still the old boltpattern. Boss has a 03 psd van that we where surprised to find has the old 8 bolt patern and not the new metric.

nice thanks eckart hmmm..... is that on a single rear or dual?? the next mission is the brake porportioning valve. i could just use a wilwood valve so i can adjust it but im wondering about brake master compatibility. i know when i put disks on the back of my 85 toyota and my landcrusier i had i needed a diffenrt master. does anybody know what the differnce mechanically the masters are?? does that van have hydralic brake boost or vaccume? is there a parking brake in thoose discs? like whats on the superduty? im pretty sure the abs system is the same its just a hall effect sensor on the rotor with the pick up on the axle.
