brake junction valve

[Tim P.]

does anybody have pics of the proper hookup of the brake valve on the frame as to what lines go to where on the junction block ie front and back relationship.
Thank you.

I think you are talking about the pressure differential valve and it is different for drums vs. discs. Anyhow, I have discs on the front and here's a couple of photos of mine. Unfortunately, it's probably too close up for your requirement.

Here is a picture of my set-up, 4 wheel manual drum brakes. The brake line from the back reservoir of the master cylinder goes into and out of the top of the valve, and then down to the front brakes. Hope this might help.

Thanks for the input this helps

If the front reservoir is feeding the front brakes, is this cause for a problem? I ran new brake lines from the master cylinder about 4 months ago, but I guess I got the two ends crossed, so that the front reservoir is feeding the front brakes...

The truck used to pull to the right when braking, but some investigating turned up a locked-up adjuster screw on the front driver brakes.

I've replaced the adjuster screw and set it to about the same setting as the passenger side, and now it stays pretty even.

But am I going to have a problem soon? Should I take off the fittings going into the "differential valve", switch them around, re-double flare the ends, and switch them back?

The front brakes need more volume, since they do most of the actual braking/stopping of a vehicle. With things plumbed the way you have them your braking is going to be diminished. I'd definitely swap them back around before you get into an accident.

Hey jor....I'm sure you already know this, but yours isn't a factory unit, it's an aftermarket adjustable unit. Those are very nice, though...

That's what I was afraid of... but better safe than sorry. Thanks Keith!
