So now the 2 wheel drive bearing has a hole for the axle shaft?

Well you're wrong. All HD 8 lug spindles (silverado) are the same. The wheel bearing is the only difference. if your thinking 1/2 ton or 6 lug then you would be right.

2 wheel drive uses the same spindle, but a different wheel bearing. If your looking in a bone yard just get the 4x4 spindle then you won't have to buy the bearing.

The pedal feel is ok, not great. The best thing is to keep the rear brakes adjusted and to stop hard once in awhile. Not sure why but after stopping hard the pedal and the brakes seems better. I've owned a 04 CC dullie Duramax and the pedal in that never really impressed me either. My...

As of now I still have the Stock master. I have been thinking about doing hydroboost from the the later trucks but it work great now. I might change my mind after the Cummins is in place. I really want to try the ceramic pads next.

Having done this upgrade I'm very happy with it. The best part about it is the panic stopping. When you need to stop you stop! Over all it's been great the next set of pads I might try a ceramic pad to see if I can make the brakes even better.

YES!

Yes normal rotation. Clock wise.

As of now I haven't done anything about the MC. If the 2500hd MC has a bigger bore I would change to it. I pedal is good but not right at the top where I think it should be.

You could send your spindles to me and I'll do it for you $$$$$ :biggrinjester:

The way I did it was 1/2 air drill turning very slow. Cutting oil helped. It did take a few hours to do all four holes. A drill press would be better with a jig but I didn't want to spend all the time building one for just two spindles. The tapered reamer centers it self also so I wasn't...

Ok On my 98 the ABS wires plugged right in to the 2500hd sensor. I have not put the fuse in to see if will work. I'll find the link to the ream I bought. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/AFCO-Tapered-Ball-Joint-Reamer-10-Degree,23749.html Yes this what I did for the tierod adapter. Edit...

It's really wasn't that hard. You'll need a 10* reamer. The ball joint in the older trucks 88-2000 are bigger then the newer 2500HD trucks. I reamed the ball joint hole until the ball joint from my 98 fit in the spindle from the 2500hd to the same depth (top ball joint). The lower you have...

used the a arms from the 98. I also have a 2 wheel drive truck so I'm interested in what your doing also.

Well....spindles needed to be mod, make a adapter for the tie rods. I've got about three weeks of research into this project and still working on it. Drove the truck today for about 15 miles I think it's going to turn out nice when it's all figured out. Even now it's better then the old...

After being less then happy with the braking on my 1998 K3500 GMC me an a friend of mine figured we could do something about it. After looking at a spindle from a 2000-2008 HD2500 we thought it was close enough to try it. Well it was some work but it does fit. Again this was done on Saturday...

No it was more to see if it would work. Maybe I'll pull the wheel off and post some pics.

Just today we upgraded my front brakes on my 98 K3500. We put Silverado 2500hd spindles,rotors and calipers on it. I've only driven it a couple of miles but it seems way better then the stock stuff. I'll report back when I have more miles on it and the pads are seated it.

It's a crappy pic sorry. I should wash it and get some nice pics.
