Anyone have any ideas? We replaced one slave cylinder and the master cylinder (single) last weekend and finally got around to bleeding the brakes. The other slaves are in good shape, but we can't get the air out of the line! We found a brake bleeding point on the hydraulic portion of the vacuum boost unit. The vacuum boost unit is under the driver's side of the cab and it might be sucking in air. Does anyone know if there is a rebuild kit for this? Or should I just replace it with a more modern engine compartment power brake unit? Thanks!
FYI: The front axle (D44 closed knuckle, 3000# axle) uses 2.5" axle nuts and the rear D60 uses 2-3/8"s. And -- the best news -- You can't get the 2.5" axle nuts from Dodge anymore.
TIA
