Re: NV4500 swap is underway
Just got back home from dropping the truck off at the Rhino shop. Still don’t have seats yet so it rode over on a trailer. I should have it back Saturday afternoon and the seats back from the upholstery shop tomorrow.
It drove on and off the trailer just fine and the brakes work great! Wow, what a noticeable difference going from vacuum to hydroboost. I stabbed the pedal backing down the driveway and it even locked up the tires. That is a first ever for this truck! It may have locked up the tires when it had ½ ton axles but I can’t remember what it drove like then. Heck that was 14 years ago. We’ll see how the brakes work once I get it on the road but I may not need to do a rear disk swap after all.
