So I'm swapping an 8.8 cause the d35 destroyed itself driving down the highway. About a few months after I did a complicated disc brake swap on it. Lucky for me the brakes are actually the same as the 8.8 so the brand new rotors are going on. Now when i had the disc brakes on the d35 I got a fresh parking brake shoes and set them up with brake cables which were a PITA to get off from the yard and on mine since the e brake was eliminated by the previous owner. After many tries getting them to hook it still wouldn't hold on a hill even tightened as much as possible. So i gave up and now that i got this axle I can't decide whether to just chuck the whole parking brake assembly. Any opinions. I'm also interested in a sort of line lock but not something that uses electricity to close the solenoid but maybe something that uses electricity to open it up if there is such a thing. I've never had good luck with stupid parking brakes and I'm used to sitting it on the tranny all the time but i think the added safety is nice.
