Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) A few ?'s

[JedRattle]

I have a `97 3500. It appears to be leaking red fluid from right behind the brake master cylinder. The part where the master bolts on to. I think the system is called hydro boost... for the brakes. Does it take atf? What kind of money can I plan on spending for this piece? What is a decent manual for this? Haynes or what? What are the best front shocks for this beast? Thanks for the help!!

Manuals

JR,

Haynes service manuals have some good pictures but not all their info is correct. I think the service manual from Chrysler is the best and the one from Chrysler covers EVERYTHING. Go to techauthority to purchase one.

I have both the Haynes and the Chrysler service manuals, can't have to much info when your are trying to fix something.

On the shocks:



I've been really happy w/ the Bilsteins. Nice and tight. Maybe too much for some, but I like em. Would love a set of the big firestone air-bags at all 4 corners, but that's whole 'nother story. Take home message: can't go wrong w/ Bilsteins for the money. Bought mine online for ~$60 ea delivered. Do all 4.
