Re: First hand experience with changing to the NBS master cylinder WOW!

Thanks for the replies guys.

My original calipers were for somewhere around 6600 lb. gross vehicle weight. These were standard on the 1/2 ton with the heavy duty chassis option. The caliper piston was around 2-7/8" in diameter. The new 1 ton calipers have pistons around 3-3/16" pistons.

While pedal feel is much better, I feel the breaking could be better. Before I owned this truck, I owned an '86 1 ton pickup with hydro boost. That truck stopped extremely well. With a future upgrade to hydro boost, I'm hoping I can get similar braking to what I remember.
