Anyone know of a kit or what's involved in adding line lock to a k2?

Maybe look into tapping into the one that's already installed in the truck. Figure out how to gain control of it??

Unless there is a kit out you'd probably have to buy the line lock the custom bend the plumbing for it.

 

Never knew our trucks came with an OEM installed line lock??

I think he meant the electronic brake distribution module. Technically, it could probably do the job of a line lock. As he said though, you'd have to gain control of it somehow and bias the brakes 100% to the front.

Even if that would work and was possible I would never want to use the system in that manner. I've had, and seen, line locks fail in the past the last thing you would want is something going wrong with the OEM dist. module.

Best path to this end result is a dual solenoid layout - one at each front. Very simple install as it's just an inline pass thru, a hot and a ground. You may as well go to braided lines vs oem rubbers while you are there. I use Jegs solenoids - just a personal preference thing honestly as they have been good to me in several vehicles. When messing with brakes in these trucks, always always always do your manipulation after all of the oem electronics. You do not want to back wash or over pressurize the abs controller, stabilitrak, or any of the other components upstream from the caliper. In other words let the solenoid work the caliper only. I mounted the solenoids right on top of the frame rails caught my ground with the mounting bolt right there and then brought passenger side hot lead to the driver side then in to the cabin at the main harness grommet.

 

I've noticed with these oem calipers that I get a better bite by giving the brake pedal 2 or 3 pumps then hold and engage lock. Otherwise just pressing down and engaging sometimes allows a little bit of roll.

It would be informative if someone will offer a brief explanation of what this modification is and what it does. This topic sounds like it could be interesting

Line lock is used in drag racing for burnouts. It hold brake pressure for the front only. Install it in the line off the master. Push pedal, hold button, release pedal. Do burnout, release button.

Thanks! Probably not an option for me but helps explain some of the burnouts popular on shows lie Fast and Loud!

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
