Message:
I have a 1990 Dodge Dakota with a 3.9L V6 and a 3 Speed with overdrive automatic trans. The engine has 282000 miles on it and still runs smooth without any leaks or stalls. The only issue I have is with the loss of HP and my brake system. For as many miles it has I understand the power loss. But Ive had issues finding performance parts on it. I would even convert it to Mag stage if I knew the requirments. The brake system is tricky. I installed new wheel cylinders because my back drums werent working. With that installed the brakes worked fine for a week. Then I had air in my lines again. Now I have no rear brakes at all. My issue with this is where to start. Help?

Do you have rear wheel ABS? If so, the bleeding procedure is to open the bleeder screws at all 4 wheels and on the ABS cylinder (which is mounted on the left rear frame rail); let some fluid seep; close all 4 wheel screws and bleed the ABS cylinder; then bleed the RR, LR, RF and LF wheels in order. I found I had to repeat a couple of times to get all air out.
