I have a 2000 Durango SLT 4 wheel drive with the 4.7


I already replaced the rear brake lines when one of them broke and I basically just bent my own by hand and they were pretty straight forward.

Well now one of the front ones broke (all of them are rusted). I don't know which one it is yet because the durango is currently stuck in a field in the mud/snow so I haven't actually been able to look and see which one it is.


I remember the front brake lines being a lot more complicated than the rear. There are tons of them. I keep trying to find a clear easy to see diagram for my exact durango but I find so many different things and it's overwhelming.

I know for now I could just bend a new line and replace what broke but I KNOW the front lines are all rusted very badly. I've been doing tons of searching online and it appears there are complete kits with all the needed brake lines for the front but the issue is idk which kit is the right one. I've found sites that show a kit and say it will fit my year and then I find other sites which show different lines/kits and also say they are for my model.


At this point it's easy to just spend the money and get a kit with ALL the front brake lines already pre bent/flared with fittings since they are all bad. Does anyone have any info that can help? Which kit is the right kit? Which diagram is the right one for my exact durango. I'm pretty overwhelmed with this as you can tell because I didn't want to keep dumping money into this but I have no choice now. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

 

A lot of the times the picture they use is a generic picture and might not be vehicle specific. Call them and verify fitment, that should be all you need to do.

 

Don't quote me on this, but as long as you have the right year and specify whether is 4WABS or RWABS I would imagine you should end up with the correct kit to do the job..

 

Thanks for the response. The more I look I'm not even sure if there is a kit for a 2000. I know most things are the same on 98-00 but for most of the kits they specifically only mention 98 or some other year. Can't find any that even say they are for a 2000 so maybe they don't make them?

For example I keep finding this kit all over eBay and a few other websites. https://www.ebay.com/i/142709791659?chn=ps

I guess it won't be the same for the 2000?

 

Honestly I don't know. Maybe they were different in 2000? I think in 2000 they went to rack and pinion and made some other minor changes, maybe they had different brake lines... I'm not sure.

Wish I could be of more help

 

the factory parts manual is available for most years in the FAQ, you could check the mopar part#s to see if they match up, if they match up 99-00 then they are the same for sure.

 

I finally took the driver's side wheel off today and took a look at it. I am going to replace ALL the front brake lines but have a few questions. I've already ordered some NiCopp brake like and I am borrowing a nice flaring kit from a friend.


1. Is there somewhere online that shows the exact fittings I need for each one? Some of them are a standard one so I picked a few up at Napa but there are a few different sizes. I was hoping maybe there was a diagram that shows the brake lines including the exact size fitting on each end of the lines.

2. There are 2 junction blocks that some lines go into on the drivers side. Where can I get these at? I haven't found them online and I am not exactly sure what they are called.

 

again, i would suggest checking the Factory parts manual in the FAQ thread for your year, it will most likely contain the most complete list of parts and sizes (if not directly, then you can search by part number)
