A little more. I was shocked to discover that someone is now making a decent brake bleed adapter that'll work well on 1994-1997 Dodge Rams and Delco brake master cylinders. It ain't cheap, but nothing is.

For what it's worth, I think you may have a couple of things going on, maybe a few more. I am stealing liberally from prior posts. But I have a few initial questions.
What condition are your calipers in? New? Rebuilt? A lot of rebuilt parts tend to be junk, even with a lifetime guarantee...
Just before I got my 1996 painted, I did a sawzall job to put in 2001 sport headlights. Then I used industrial 1/4 inch rivets to reconnect the inner and outer steel parts together. Clamped with with a vise to get the setting right.
I bought an off brand headlight set, so I will have to...
That's been on the local news here, down in the oven part of Arizona. But the television images were nowhere near as good. If that's the incident I think it is, the haul driver was taken away for DUI.
Uhhh. I think the rig's time is up, full stop. Was he using the hitch ball on the step bumper?
That's basically my intent. The truck was sort of "assigned" to me for 14 years. It was a Tradesman level and came without power towing mirrors. We did a shop retrofit to the Cipa mirrors shown in the image, using a hybrid of the 1996 and 2004 wiring setup. We did it that way because a...
If you bought a 2004 3500 DRW 4x4 at auction in 2024, I'd like to visit with you. It's not anything bad, just trying to make a connection. Truck looks like this:
SOLD! SOLD! This is about as miscellaneous as things get. It's a camera, and an unusual one at that. It's a Russian Zenit12C single lens reflex (SLR) 35 mm spy camera. My mom bought this in Moscow for my brother while on a tour in Russia and Ukraine in April, 1986. The tour stopped at one...
I didn't have those problems with the kit I bought from Geno's. All the parts fit perfectly. The brackets have shown no signs of breakage. I had to buy a larger reaming tool for one bolt hole, but that was NBD. However, when I changed the front differential cover from OEM to a MagHytech, I...
New paint! 1994 Dodge Van Arctic Gray over 1996 Emerald. I bought the running boards for $2 at a yard sale but had to fabricate mounts. Getting newer tires to replace the 11 year old set.
Getting the 11 year old tires replaced with newer ones. Note the Arizona Historic Vehicle License plate! When I bought the truck new in 1996, I had no idea that we would have it that long. Makes my daughter crazy also, because she was 13 when we bought it.
This part of @slomover's post is especially important. I have hauled a fully loaded max 10K GTW equipment trailer behind a fully loaded six speed 3rd gen CTD 3500 with an exhaust brake. Descending into the Salt River Canyon, or either side of Donner Summit are good examples. I use (used...
