Hey guys
Recently got some TCI Linelocks for my truck
I was thinking about going with front and back locks
Going to try and launch of the lineocks
anyone have any ideas on where i should spice them in ?

thanks

I wish someone made some prebent lines for our trucks. That would make the job a lot easier. If they were available I have a feeling there would be a few of us running them.

As far as I know there aren't any truck guys running line locks. A bunch of the car guys do though.

 

I had dual front and rear line locks on my Skylark for the purpose of launching off the button instead of the brake pedal. I have nerve damage in my feet and legs and have trouble launching with the brake. It worked ok, but the solenoids were slow to react and inconsistent. I eventually quit using it and went back to the conventional launch.

With a turbo I can see where locking all 4 would be greatly beneficial. I havent looked at my truck specifically, but you just want to put them as close to the master cyl as practical, and downstream of the abs I would think.

 

See that's the thing I want to avoid any issues with the Abs
hmm Maybe I'll just start cutting and see where it leads me
Unless anyone has done this to one of our trucks ??

 

I would check out how the car guys are doing it. They have a very similar brake system setup. They would be able to tell you about any ABS issues too.

 

I am thinking about doing this on my truck. I can't hold the truck still once I get it stalled up and over 6psi. It just started to roll forward. The line lock should cure that and since i don't care about reaction time, consistancy is no problem.

 

F8L, yank the ABS fuse when you're a tthe track.

 

That will stop the roll out you see in my videos? Parish is having the same trouble... If that's the fix then I owe you a 6-pack bro

 

Better head to the liquor store.

I tried launching under boost one time before I pulled the fuse. All I can say is LOL cause it damn sure wasn't pretty, neither was that red light. It started bucking and bouncing. What happens, is the ABS starts dumping and when it does the brakes let loose momentarily. If the ABS has no power, is can't dump. Just ignore the 60 seconds of dinging telling you the ABS isn't working.

 

That's some great advice Flyer. Never knew about it!
