I think that's what it is called? It's rusted to hell and the brake lines broke at it. This is the part:

Any idea what it's called or should I just go to a pick and pull and look?
 
That'd be the Proportioning Valve
 
Mine was so buggered up on my Ram that I just did away with it. Only been a couple of months since I did it but I haven't noticed any difference in braking?
 
hard to tell the size of it, its look like just a T-block. They probably came down from the master hit that and then looks like it crosses to other side under engine on cross member. The distro block might be further back.

Other vehicles have that T built into the end of the one brake hose similar to a rear line. That way it can be easily swapped out..

I think it's just a splitter, the one going to the rear is just behind it you can kind of see. The proportioning for front/rear was done before this. It's just 1 hose comes in, then 2 go out to the front calipers.
I think I'm just going to try and find something else to use, and bypass that completely. Just leave it sitting there. :lol:
