I like that they provide a list of off the shelf parts that make it much cheaper than the other complete name brand kits. If you breakdown on a road trip you can easily make a repair.
@@nordiccowboy3430 definitely one of the reasons I chose the kit. Years later I'm still happy with it. It's not perfect but it's definitely an improvement.
I converted my 1992 Chevy Silverado rear drum system. Just like he said you don't need to pull the axles. You do have to grind the edges of the calipers as it will rub on the inside on the chevy rims. MAN I LOVE MY NEW BRAKES - THAN YOU FOR AN EXCELLENT VIDEO
The editing to this video, in an attempt to consolidate, what must have a significant amount of recording, is fantastic. Hats off to you sir. Thank you. Great info. 😎
Thank you for putting together such a well done straight forward video. Full concise but complete instructionals such as this are rare and appreciated. That alone makes it worth the sub. I don't mind entertaining instructionals, but having one that goes efficiently and completely (not ignoring details) from A to Z is very refreshing.
Dude…… nice job man!! Love how you worked around little issues, drilling/tapping etc. I’m a toolmaker/machinist and super picky about who I take info from on projects. Getting ready to convert my rear drum to disc on 1993 GMC K2500. Learned about Cunningham Machine and bunch of other stuff from this video, thanks man!!

What's the point of doing this anyway? I looked up full rear rebuild and I don't see how it's more than what he spent... plus there is no DIY part making
Great video!! I feel your knowledge in your explanation could have and install was awesome and would have helped some of us not that savvy. But what you did show was great and I completed this conversion in 11 hours. thanks bro.
Awesome video!! Well done. My 1997 is bone stock. I completely rebuilt the brake system 2 years ago. The brakes ar excellent and the truck stops like it should. The 1997 has 4 wheel antilock. No sponginess. I will stick with what i got but wanted to compliment your video.
Dude, you nailed it. For anyone who has worked on their own trucks knows what your doing,still if you need help it ain't the whole thing haha...great job on tutorial ,especially the parts list and where to get them and your opinions on the products and services. Man I'll be following you for more.
Personally the biggest change in brake feel for me was stainless braided hoses in the front, and from the frame to the rear end. There have been quite a few if those trucks that I fixed that way with no other modifications, as long as everything else is working corectly
@@KingsWeldingandAutomotive If you swap to braided steel lines, make sure your brake seals are in good shape if not the added pressure will cause them to leak. Pretty common with drums and wheel cylinders, not so much with disc. Just a heads up for those who don't know.
This answers a lot of questions I had. Great video, just the information, no garbage. Drum brakes totally suck and have no place in this century. But that 'spacer' on the pad is an anti-squeal shim and should have been left there, it wasn't added for fun.
Wow! Clear pictures, proper and complete commentary and great editing. I subscribed halfway through the video. I wish more videos were like this one! This is the best I have found on rear disks for an OBS hands down. Great job! Going to start gathering parts for my 94.
Nice video. Good stuff. I bought a kit from lugnut 4x4. Haven’t done the swap yet. Now that I saw this video. I’m going to need brake line and a brake line bender and hopefully don’t run into any snags. Great video.
Thank you for a awesome break down on how to do this swap I myself just purchased the cunning ham adapters I feel more confident in doing this myself lol
Ik it’s 10 months ago but I’m doing a nbs master with the rear disc conversion and putting a lsd while I’m there. Helped out a lot bro. Solid vid for sure.
I'm probably going to stick with drums for now .. however i will be replacing the master cylinder. I have had the tail end of my truck swing out on me in wet conditions so I will be leaving the rear abs connected as well
I really appreciate the time and effort. I own a 94 k1500 blazer 4x4, is it worth the conversion. If anyone out there has experience with both brake systems, I would appreciate your input.
FYI to those planning this job, if your pulling the axles you dont need to dissasemble the brakes like he did. Remove the drum and then the bolts holding the brake assembly on and it will come off as one piece.
@@KingsWeldingandAutomotive This is actually one of the few systems I have seen where they said you dont need to pull the axles. I thought that was interesting. Cutting the backing plate off wouldnt be an issue for a torch or a good cutting tool.
Not sure if you are still replying to videos.. but my question is... Did you end up changing out the combination valve when you swapped from drums to DISC? I've been reading conflicting information about the necessity to do this.. Some say that the combination valve between the Disc/drum and disc/disc set up ARE different and need to be changed when swapping out drums for discs.. But then there are differing opinions as well. Does anyone know the correct answer?
@@KingsWeldingandAutomotive In doing more research on this I have found that on my 1994 Silverado with factory rear drums that the combination valve is designed to send pressure to the rear drums FIRST before applying pressure to the front discs. In my case, I am changing over to a disc/disc (P4) combination valve so that I get equal pressure at all 4 calipers simultaneously. This is the proper way to do it. I'm also changing over to a later master cylinder (2002 Tahoe 4 wheel disc truck) so that the entire system is correct from front to back. I'm also deleting the dump valve or RWAL valve to get rid of those first few inches of pedal travel.
@@Go69 thanks so much for doing this research. I can actually confirm that in an emergency the rears do lock before the fronts. I may end up changing to a disc/disc combination valve and post a follow up video. I'll highlight your comment on my video once I do. I do have the newer master cylinder you mentioned installed already. I would only be missing the correct combination valve. Thanks again bro 👊
I blew a brake line and repaired it.. This left me with that sponge pedal and it took forever to work it out. I would have gladly tossed out those drums if I knew this kit existed...
Well it's never too late. Months later and I'm so glad I installed disk brakes. I had a close call the other day and I can 100% say the drum brakes would have not stopped on time.
Great Job Man!! if only the other youtubers would stop trying to fill their videos with stupid intros and music and lots of bull poop!! you get an AAA+++++
I’ve had the brackets since before Cunningham Machine came out with this new design and still haven’t installed them. Thanks for the super in depth video I feel a little less intimidated to do this now do you know if it’s the same process for the 6 lug trucks ?

Yeah Im gonna stick with drums lol
I have a 96 k1500, just finished installing a lift kit and was on my back a lot. So NO, not doing it 😂. Great video 👍🏼

@@hoffmanshaven I appreciate it, you are correct. When drum brakes are setup properly and have good working parts they function well.

You bring up a good point. I should order some and install them to see if it makes a difference with the upgraded rear disk brakes.

Great video, its what I have been looking for. I own a c2500 with 6 lugs and a 14 bolt rear, and this kit would be a perfect fit. Thanks for sharing.
Solid video man! Probably the most helpful conversion video that I have seen.
This make it seem so easy, thank you for this video!

Super video. I now have the confidence do execute the conversion on my truck
You did a very good job describing every part of the install... Now I want to do my own 2 door Tahoe!!😂

Great video, lots of important details in a video that's quick and easy to watch. Very nice.
Thanks for the step by step process, going to start this project on my obs as well 👍
I’m converting the brakes on a K10. A different set up of course, but still many helpful tips. Good, concise video. Thanks
Thanks for posting the video. I recently bought a 93 OBS. This will defiantly be on my list as the stock breaks are marginal with a 350cu swap.
Added to my GM How to library. Thanks a ton for all of your work.
Thank you for a awesome break down on how to do this swap I myself just purchased the cunning ham adapters I feel more confident in doing this myself lol
Covered the details very well. Continue the good work.
Very nice. Straight to the point. No BS. Thanks
Great vid. I am keeping my rear drums but, will install a NBS master cylinder.
Excellent video! Simple, and to point! Thanks for doing that!
Thanks for the info. This is on my list of things to do to my truck
Great video! Just what I was looking for. I'm also upgrading the rear breaks on my 92 Silverado
Ik it’s 10 months ago but I’m doing a nbs master with the rear disc conversion and putting a lsd while I’m there. Helped out a lot bro. Solid vid for sure.
Should notice a huge improvement in your brakes, NBS master alone is going to be a nice upgrade
Nice details, Leo did u change the proportion ing valve?
thanks a lot for the video. ! Most definitely one of the best how to videos I've seen. Feel more confident in doing this swap now. Thank you 🙏🏼
Can you help me with my 1997? LOL! That was a great way to do a video you're a genuine guy helping us out thank you.
Are you in the DMV area? If you are reach out to me via Instagram
Great detail with install im going to buy the kit you brought and get it installed thank for showing the video
Great job. This is a major help to those that DIY.
I did the same to my 91 GMC 1500 I got the parts from , little shop manufacturing .
Video shows 5 lug rotors. Will it make any difference using 6 lug rotors for my 93 K1500?
I'm probably going to stick with drums for now .. however i will be replacing the master cylinder. I have had the tail end of my truck swing out on me in wet conditions so I will be leaving the rear abs connected as well

Thanks for the video!👍🏾 It was extremely helpful!💪🏾
Excellent work - brakes & video.
Excellent video and editing! Great job!
This is a awesome video, I will definitely be doing this conversation
Favorite disc conversion video!!!
Great Video. This helped me a lot.
Thanks that is the best video I seen on doing this, now I can start mine.
I really appreciate the comment. Takes a lot of effort to edit these videos.
Exelant job well done I also appreciate the editing...👌

literally an amazing video. reference worthy my man.
Great video. I'm not sure that I would use brass adapters though.
Fantastic dude thank you. Now all I have to do is save some $$$.
Great job on making this video actually helped me on doing this
This video is priceless.
Thanks 🙏🏾 for this.
Great reference material ‼️
🛻 💨‼️
This was a dope ass video. Informative and straight to the point. 👍🏾👍🏾
i liked it, very informative thanks for the time you took, its appreciated.
Nice, good job buddy. Thanx!!!
So clean 🔥🔥‼️
Do you have a part list for this modification. Very good video. Thanks
Friking chingon Video Vato. Outstanding Video.
I wish I lived close to you. So you could help me do this. Thanks for the video. This will be a BIG help.
Just take your time step by step... especially the bleeding air part...good luck 🤞
Thanks.
This rules. Some of the conversion kits out there cost way too much. This looks better than alot of them too.
Great video very clean install
Good video I’ll be doing this soon thanks to this knowledge you shared
Great video. I’m thinking of doing this for my 97 Tahoe z71
You will not regret it. The difference is day and night...but at the same time ...don't expect them to perform like 6 piston calipers
Good work!
