Posted April 17, 201312 yr I need help in locating where to purchase the two rods that go into the wheel cylinder for the rear drum brakes.
April 17, 201312 yr Probably have to get new wheels cylinders. They are about $10-15 each side. Its the perfect time to upgrade to 1 ton chevy wheel cylinders while your at it. I am using 1995 chevy 1 ton dually wheel cylinders, but make sure they are for a dually and not a 1 ton single wheel as they are the biggest ones.
April 17, 201312 yr Author i need and they do not come with any hardware, I tried the dealer they said they are Discontinued. - - - Updated - - - Do you have any idea what chevy years will work? and thank you
April 17, 201312 yr Ive never bought a hardware kit for the Dodges but other vehicles Ive done they have been included in the kits. Ask the auto parts store for a spring kit and take a look at it, they should be in there.For the wheel cylinders, Napa part number 37337. They are for a 1 ton Chevy and is a direct bolt in. They were an improvement for me, but I think unhooking the load proportioning valve and cranking it up most of the way helped me as much if not more than the wheel cylinders
April 18, 201312 yr Jason put up the same part number I used and I know they were used in a 1995 model.
April 18, 201312 yr Owner Like this article. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/23-brake-system/55-drum-brake-wheel-cylinder-upgrade I'm not sure if the push pins are included with the wheel cylinders.
April 19, 201312 yr Probably a situation where some brands the pins are included and some aren't. I haven't done a set of drums that ever required the pins to be replaced but I haven't lived anywhere that salts the roads thank god. No better way to ruin a perfectly good vehicle. I don't plan on ever buying another truck and I'm only 51, but I don't have to worry about it rotten out from under me.
