I agree with everyone about the Pre-97's needing the system. The crew at
Hotchkis is very busy with a lot of projects right now. This may be something
for the future. Remember that this takes a lot of engineering. not just slap
the part on, tweak it a bit and then run. With the quality standards at
Hotchkis Performance, they do it right or not at all. It may take some time.
Gary is the designer, so he will do it. BTW - they will also need a pre-97 Dak
for a bit of time in their shop to do the trials and install and mods. Who can
do without their truck for a month or two?? The entire process may take more
than 6 months. Be patient.
Side note - just took the front wheels off. Brake pads are trash. inner ones
lost all the material and the metal was scraping on the rotors. Time for new
rotors and pads complete on the front and new shoes on the rear! Otherwise, it
is fine. Reminder to self - week before Buttonwillow, get new brakes!!! Hee
