I don't know what the Napa number is for the wheel cylinders but the Wagner number is F79767. They should be able to interchange it. ---Sam

They give all the part numbers used (dodge) too.

Hope this helps some.

If you change your brakes don't forget to get Sam Peterson's new pads for the front, you won't be disappointed..... nope they don't cost anymore than the local ones!

Where can I get Sam Petersons pads at? I'm interested in a set of pads and maybe some drilled rotors.

My truck was upgraded yesterday with the bigger wheel cylinders and shoes...

We have been so busy with our new business's that I dont have any free time to an all day project like this...

I say all day because the seals on the axle has just started to show signs of a small leak. . So since I needed the seals and it needed rear brakes I had a friend of mine take care of all of it for me.

Its was after they had closed before I was able to pick up my truck so I am not sure of all that they did. All I know is that it will stop on a dime and give you nine cents change.



Once I call them this morning I will find out what all they did. .

Well here is what they did...



1. Replaced the brake shoes

2. Replace the axle seals

3. Had to replace the axle nut... For some reason was in a mess. . They said that it was nurled over for some reason. They ran the threads and installed a new nut...

4. Replaced the wheel cylinders with 1 ton flavor



Like I said before... WOW... it stop right now.

Rick, not often I hear of the rears wearing out. How many miles you have or did the leak get them?
