Get an adjustable proportioning valve and put it in the line and ditch the Load Sensing Proportioning Valve.

Dude its the same thing. You think I've never worked on a Taco because I don't own one? I did this to a friends Taco about 2 weeks ago after he bought it. It had the line T'd when he got it, and we put in an adjustable proportioning valve.

And just T'ing the valve will not make your tires lock up. It can, but generally it will just increase your rear brake wear because they need less pressure than the front.

Try not to be a dick next time.

Summit carries them. They have Wilwood and Summit brand adjustable valves. They're like $50 or so. Speedway motors also carries one, that is really the same thing, for $30. I bought that one for myself, and he is running the same one. It works just fine. Only drawback is its purple.
