I can't find a rebuilt brake booster for my 1978 Dodge D-150 truck anywhere; I have been hunting for months. The Chrysler number is 4094149. The A-1 Cardone number is 54-73716. I would settle for a rebuildable core at this point; my old booster is rusted-out on the back side so it is no good as a core.

To extend the lifespan of your brake pads, you can adopt several practices and maintenance habits. Here are some tips to help make your brake pads a longer
Drive Smoothly
Avoid Hard Braking: Try to brake gently and gradually instead of slamming on the brakes Coast to Stop: whenever possible, let your vehicle coast to a stop rather than braking abruptly.
Maintain A Safe Following Distance
Reduce Frequent Braking: Keeping a safe distance from the car in front of you allows more time to brake gently.
Anticipate Stops
Pay attention to traffic flow and road conditions ahead to anticipate stops. Gradually slowing down instead of slamming on the brakes can significantly extend the life of your brake pads.
Avoid Overloading
Excessive weight puts additional strain on your vehicle's braking system. Try to avoid overloading your vehicle beyond its recommended capacity.
Coast When Possible
When approaching a stop sign or red light, coasting instead of maintaining speed can reduce the need for heavy braking.
Brake Gently When Towing
If you're towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads, be extra cautious with braking. Allow more distance to stop and brake gently to reduce strain on the brake pads.
Regular Maintenance
Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle, including brake inspections. Promptly replace worn brake pads before they cause damage to other brake components.
Use Engine Braking
When driving downhill, downshift (if you have a manual transmission) or use the engine to slow down the vehicle instead of relying solely on the brakes.
Avoid Riding The Brakes
Constantly keeping your foot on the brake pedal, especially when not actively braking, can lead to premature wear of the brake pads. Practice keeping your foot off the brake pedal when not needed
Quality Brake Pads
Invest in high-quality brake pads that are suited for your vehicle. While they may cost more upfront, they can last longer and provide better performance.
Avoid Harsh Weather Conditions
If possible, avoid driving in harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or snow, as these can accelerate brake pad wear.
Check Brake Fluid
Ensure your brake fluid is at the proper level
