Caliper Leaking - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am wondering if anyone else is having a problem with replacement 4wd calipers.

I have tried 3 calipers now from NAPA and they all have a small leak between the banjo washer and the caliper, they will leak with no pressure other then head pressure from gravity.

I am currently using Inline Tube extended brake lines and the hardware that came with the calipers. I have tried stacking some banjo washers to see if I can pick up the imperfection in the caliper surface but I still have a slow leak.

Any recommendations on where to find some decent calipers?
