Is that a Joke? Like a metric crescent wrench or a quart of blinker
fluid? I just had my '99's brakes apart and that is wrong, it's not put
togeather like that. The bleeder goes down, the hose goes up. How
would he have enough slack in the brake lines to turn his wheels if it
attached on the bottom of the caliper? I think you just got stung by a
secret shopper or something.

Had a customer come in with a 1999 Dakota (verified by VIN number and
build date on door sticker) looking for a drivers side replacement
caliper. They kept coming in (special order) as being the wrong
calipers. 98, 99, and 00 all show different caliper part numbers. When
looking at his drivers side caliper piston oriented on the right side
(as is when installed on the truck) the bleeder screw was at the top
of
the caliper and the brake hose attatched at the bottom. The calipers
he
was getting were the opposite. Anyone confirm when Dodge started
messing with the calipers and what they did to them? I know they
changed
ball joints etc at some point and I remember people saying things about
lift kits for Gen IIIs not working between older/newer Gen III trucks.
I had the last two days off work so I probably won't know how this
guy's
problem turned out - but I was curious for my own knowledge.
