Here I added some extra support for the bracket, just in case....

Here is how it looks from behind. Over 90% of pad is in contact with new rotor. Should offer plenty of grip.(I hope)

Different view of caliper. I had to reverse the motor on the caliper 180 degrees. It is a simple job, remove and replace two screws and try not to get any of the small gears released. Needed to reverse the electric receptacle for access.

This was a fun bracket to make. Its to hold the tesla caliper to the Allison tail housing.


These things can be bought on Ebay for not much money. The electric control isn't very difficult and there is a controller available for not too much $$. I may try one of my own though, we'll see.

Here is the Tesla parking caliper I'll be using. As I understand it these were used for parking but also could be deployed as an emergency brake during a brake failure.

Here's the slip yoke and yoke shaft that make up the drive shaft. The slip is a Spicer 3-3-1511KX, the yoke shaft is 3-82-811. These use the 1410 series ujoint also. The Allison yoke is a 1480 so a conversion ujoint 3-1448 (1410/1480) will be used there.

Better angle of the 'new' slinger. If you plan on going this direction be warned that the old oil slinger has a slightly smaller i.d. and will need a bit of 'massaging' to fit


This is the new yoke I'll be using with the old slinger installed. It uses a 1410 ujoint which is considerably heartier than the one it replaces. It's a Spicer 3-4-6221-1x

Here's a shot of the old pinion yoke with the 'slinger' removed.

Here is where I drilled and tapped the manifold for an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) probe. You really need to keep track of your EGT's in a diesel.

Easy to see the difference in the two manifolds here.
