Yes. There are several around here but I would like to find one that won't just slap on a bunch of bondo or mess it up even further. I may have to find a restoration shop.

This is probably a long shot... Does anyone know where I can get a good condition tailgate for a 93 White Typhoon? My Typhoon's tailgate got damaged in an accident. I would rather just have it repaired but I don't know any techs that do that work locally. (Seattle/Bellevue).

I need to replace the tires on my 93 Ty which has the stock 245 50 16 tires and aftermarket wheels. I noticed that most of these posts reference 17" wheels and tires. I don't think I can put 17" tires on the 16" wheels ;) - so did GMC produce 17" wheels for the SyTys? Will 17" wheels fit the 16"...

Well that shows me that the booster IS the culprit. I ordered one - there's really nothing left...

I have Wilwood recommendations for front calipers, MC, and PV - all parts are Wilwood's. The rear brakes are stock drum brakes with very little wear. The pedal goes to the floor when the engine is running. I get a firm pedal when engine is off.

This is an old post but I was curious if the proportioning valve fixed your problem? I have the same problem but I have already replaced the proportioning valve with a wilwood. I was about to start looking at the booster when I read this...

The Master cylinder is new - replacing it made no difference. MC was bench bled and the the whole system was bled afterwards (again). The power brake is standard GMC vacuum type. I removed the entire ABS unit and installed the ABS delete kit. Is the pressure relief valve part the ABS unit? Or is...

Yes, I used the calipers facing up. I get pedal pressure only with the engine off. As soon as I start it - no brakes whatsoever...

Did you find the wilwood proportioning valve part #? I may have the same problem.

I know this is an older post but I wanted know you what problem you had with the proportioning valve... I have a big problem with the brakes after installing Wilwood discs on the front and ABS delete. When I bleed them (4 times now) brakes work fine until I start the car - no brakes at all...

Anyone have any ideas??? I'm stuck... Eddy

Yeah, I thought about that but before I put the new brakes on, everything was working fine - brakes were working... Maybe I need to bench bleed it. thanks, Eddy

I have been fighting this for quite a while now. After installing Wilwood calipers on the front of my 93 Ty, removed the ABS, installed the ABS delete kit, bleeding the brakes several times - I get a firm pedal while not running. As soon as I start the engine - pedal goes to the floor... Has...

Same with my me (refunded). I ordered one from Sport Machines and got it in less than a week! Finally!

hmmm - tried email, phone - no response. I'm trying to get in touch via PayPal resolution...
