Do you have a local pick and pay auto salvage yard around in your area that handles trucks? If so, that's likely the cheapest way to obtain a bleeder valve for your caliper off of a wrecked Dodge 1500 truck.

I'd check Chevy and GMC pickups from the same era. I had a 1993 GMC C2500 and it used the same caliper as my '96 Ram 1500 4X4.

You got it right,the M10X 1.25 fitted a treat. Wouldn,t have thought metric would have fitted,but there you go !
Thanks to all that tried to help.

Alright! So, not to beat you up but was it M10x1.5 or 1.25? M10 is a pain because there's at least three thread pitches including a 1.0 "extra fine" used on spark plugs and probably other things
