Re: Rear brake upgrade: 11” to 13”
As always an awesome stock looking upgrade Larry.
I got rid of the rear D60 for an '05 14B disc axle from a 2500 HD. Got a good deal but TBH, really can't see a difference in stopping power between the 60 and 14B. One HUGE difference as you had noted was that the parking brake on the disc axle sucks compared to the drum axle. It holds and has never slipped but also has never inspired the confidence that the drum brake did. I personally think that the surface area of the disc parking brake shoe isn't nearly 1/3 of the size of the drum.... and with 13" drums, its probably 1/4 of the size (probably less) than the drums.
