Hi,

Im lifting my truck with a 3'' tuff country lift kit. Its my first real experience with auto work, and its a learning experience. Anyway, today the axle fell off the jack stand and basicly ripped on the big hose coming down from the (master cylinder, some kind of valve?) attached to the frame right behind the gas tank. Everything seems to be fine, but whatever that big valve thing is toast. It was rusty anyway and about to fall apart, and that was the nail in the coffin. So, what is it and how much can I expect to pay for a new one?

Thanks alot,
James

I cant amagine it being to expensive but without pics its going to be hard to figure out what exactly you broke

 

Hey, ill try to explain it better but ill have to get pics in the morning. It looks like a large valve or pump assembly about the size of a rubiks cube attached to the frame right behind the gas tank. Its attached to the rear brake line, and what i believe to be the proportioning valve on the axle.

 

Are you sure the propotional valve isnt what you broke??? thats all i know of thats behind the gas tank.

 

year and model would help

 

I bet its a second gen 4runner or pickup. most likely a pickup

 

its a 97' 4wd tacoma and your right, it probably is the proportioning valve
