Piilgrim82 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Hi all, just wondering if anyone can tell me what this bracket is for behind the rear axle? Noticed a while back when I was under the truck it was hanging down and I wasn't sure what it is for/ if I should fix it haha. Thanks! IMG_2438.HEIC
fiatslug87 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 It's the load sensing valve for the brake system. It should be attached to the bracket on the differential via a rod. Search for load sensing valve.
Eagle Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 My computer can't open your image, so I'll assume that FiatSlug is correct.

Mine couldn't either, it's an iPhone image so I uploaded it to https://heictojpg.com/ to convert it to jpg. Thanks for the benefit of the doubt sir.
Piilgrim82 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Posted April 23, 2020 Thanks guys! I’ll look into it. Oh and sorry about the image format, thanks for going to the extra work to convert the file fiatslug87!

Pete M Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 horizontal and pointing toward the diff. (though I'm not sure if it'll swing all the way to the frame so that might be a moot point)
