    M185 Brakes TM and best current parts source?

    It isn't nearly as easy to use a pressure bleeder on the dual circuit system as the old single circuit system, because you don't have the 1/8" fitting on the cap. The old pedal push method is probably the most common way to do it, just like any normal vehicle.

    They would almost certainly be Viton. Nitrile rubber tends to swell badly when exposed to brake fluid, at least in my experience.

    You only have one master cylinder, and two air pacs. That's all there is to it. And that is a factory install. Your truck is an 87' or 88' model, no doubt about it. It was an air force truck.

    I bet that your truck is an 87' or 88' model and someone put the wrong data plate on it. Those parts are too cleanly installed for someone else to have cobbled it together.
