Anyone have any experience with a particular line lock? I am looking at getting one for my truck. I just fixed the brakes and now I cant power brake it to do a burn out. I figure I line lock would take care of that. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Corbin

Honestly, I really would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy.

It's a simple solenoid that plumbs into the front brake line and holds pressure only on the front brakes.
Also good for starting on steep hill with a clutch.

I had the Hurst "roll control" on my duster & liked it. Its a pretty simple set up once installed.

Re: Line Locks?
Cool I was looking at the Hurst kit. Might go with that one, theres a few to choose from on the Jegs website. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Line Locks?
Yeah I could try that. I think a line lock will be better that way I wont wear out the brand new rear brakes I just put on. Its only like $80 for the kit and it will make burn outs a lot easier.

You could always rig up a windshield washer pump to wet the rear tires .

Ummm, sorry if it's obvious, but if you don't want to wear stuff out then don't power brake.
