I will go next weekend to get the current list & 3-23 to get more for the pending list
Pending list:
-guy in my local club
-98XJ40K
-Metmknice
-Juan4you
-MichiganCherokee
I only do 5 kits per trip,'cause honestly,it takes about a hour per kit to remove.It's about a hour from my house,so this makes it a all day adventure.

I just went to the JY yesterday to get my parts but i forgot about the e-cable and proportioning valve.
I have a question about the valve. Do you have a pic of it and could i go to the parts store and buy one?

Choose either one.I always heard the red ones were more rare,sought after & only in the V-8's.Not true,I found 2 the last time & they were in the I-6's.
First time I've ever found any red ones.I've also found the silver ones in the V-8's.

looking at the pic thats not what i was thinking of.
where is located?
I called up autozone today. They told me that they dont have one. I would have to get the whole ABS module cause its internal in it. Is that right?

You cant get a PV without the abs module cause th abs is done after the PV but yea, you can't order just the internals unless you get it from a private sellet

will i be ok to change it over in the mean time till i find one or will it be like not having rear brakes and should just wait to get it?

Some people don't swap the part in the pic into thier PV.I think it's called a metering valve.You don't need the entire PV,just the part pictured.
If you have ABS you need to search how to make it work with the ZJ disc's.I have a non-ABS 8.25,so I have no idea.

X2. The metering valve is needed mostly for hard braking. There has been others that don't even swap those out until they test. And likewise. Not sure about conversion to abs systems. Maybe lose the abs :shrug: get an 8.25 instead the 35
