Dodge Frame Chassis under a Winnebago Camper brake question?

Have a vehicle in need of repair to brakes. Partially completed by another mechanic so I will take over where he left off. Brakes need to be bled. I got under vehicle and noticed what appears to be two additional brake boosters (vacuum driven) each with a device similar in appearance to a pair of master cylinders. These master cylinders have brake lines that run from the main master and then lines that run to the proportioning valve. I need to know how and where the bleeder valves are mounted on these things so I can get the air out of the system. The previous mechanic had a heart attack and I cannot ask him any questions on what he did so I will start from scratch here.

Anyone know of a repair manual on this type of truck chassis? It appears to be around a 600/650 or 700/750 grade of Dodge chassis. I have the vin so I can continue looking for a manual but have come up empty at the Dodge dealer, Local Truck parts stores and the local R/V dealership.

Customer wants it operational for sale and the faster I get it done the better off she will be.

Thanks in advance

Alex

    that should be about a 78 model right,you bleed this the same way as all regular brakes ,but it takes a lot more fluid to get started with,do the right rear wheel first and let it gravity bleed out ,but first make sure he bleed the master cylinders out on it other wise it may take a while to get the fluid to start running out,if he got all the hoses tightened down good and there's no leaks it should bleed out pretty good but its going to take two people to actually do this one,and at no time let it run dry on fluid,because if you do you have to start at the beginning again,here's a site for a manual on that one that will help you a lot on it,good luck http://biskobooks.com/

    When bleading you always blead the cylinder farethest from the master cylinder first (right rear) then move to the other side.

    Then to the right front side, Then drivers front.

    Any thing inbetween should bleed it's self.

    Hope this helps some

    Good luck my friend

    good luck on this one buddy, the only thing i can say is the bleeder screws have to be in the most upper position (makes sense, right?)
