so can i like dissable the e-brake on the rear and have it act like a line lock? just a stupid idea

 

ummmm, no! The parking brake only applies the rear brakes, so if you disable that the only thing you have gained is a dead pedal.

Er, if you really want a "line lock" and don't mind a bit of Redneck engineering, you could always clamp the flexible line to the rear brakes.
Personally, I wouldn't do it but it would work.

 

im sorry, i knew it was a dumb question. is it possible to move the e-brake to the front?

 

good idea but it only usually works on FWD cars.

 

umm it doesn't matter if it's front or rear wheel drive all parking brake devices are on the rear. for a line lock to work since our trucks are rear wheel drive you need to lock the front wheels. using the parking brake while doing a burnout defeats the purpose of locking the wheels, is completely stupid and will eat up your parking brake shoes and rotors faster than you can say oh ****

I would be pissed to if I wore out my parking brake shoes.

 

I haven't serviced the rear brakes on the Lightning yet, but regular F150's have emergency brake drums and shoes inside the rear discs. Are Lightnings different?

David

 

No, they have shoes.

 

Guess you've never pulled off your rear rotors.

 

yes, i have managed to make an *** out of myself. im good at that. so im guessin i should just shut-up and get a line lock kit. Sal, im coming down to see ya

 

Its ok, jarmsto did the same, so dont feel too bad...

Big Shooter, I was poking fun at James for poking fun at Will, and being wrong .

It's ok to ask a question you honestly don't know the answer to, so don't sweat it .
