I must be missing the limited slip additive, or is it just out of the picture? LOL

I just couldn't resist...

My mind is going here, too. All because of the stupid brake backing shield 1 vs 2 piece thing while I'm doing brakes.

Got a picture or part number for the 2 piece brake shield?

Last 2 piece plates I saw were flimsy... even more so than factory... that’s when I decided to split the rear.... this was back in 2010 tho... maybe they are better now?

I did the 2-piece Dorman ones a couple years ago, seemed about the same thickness as the factory ones I took off. But....since I will be there I just decided to order genuine AC oDelco ones. Thanks @HiHoeSilver fkr for helping me spend more money lol.

It was about 120* inside the truck yesterday. I pulled on the carpet and it wasn’t budging. Pretty sure it’s a done deal. The day before, the carpet actually just fell off with the Super 77 on it.

Glad it worked!

Thanks. The 2 piece is a good idea but that particular part does not have the caliper mount. Is there another piece needed to mount the caliper or do you still have to pull the shafts to put the caliper mount on?
