I have a leak between the brake line and the caliper, I just replaced
the caliper and put the brass washers back between the line and the
caliper. I know there is an alignment hole in the bolt that holds the
line to the caliper and that is lined up correct as far as I can tell.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks in advance to anyone
that can help. Oh yeah, the truck is a 97 2500 with 8800 GVW front
axle and a diesel if that matters.

If you used the washer supplied with the new calipers note that it probably
is not as thick as the OEM and unable to seal properly. If you've still got
the original you might try reinstalling it. The washers are available at
the dealer and aren't too high.
