does the van have a tow hitch, and do they tow? I know with larger trailers, the tow car/truck needs a brake distribution box so it applys the brakes evenly when your towing.ordid they say Block.. and you though they said box?On most cars the break distribution block it's simply a place where all the brake lines come together.Something like this:or like this

what model basele sewhat engine2.2 or 2.6what is her symptoms? does she have brakes but as she sits at a stop sign or stop light does the peddal go to the floor as she sits there if so it's the master cylinder.The person who did the inspection and found the faulty part should have pointed it out to her so she could have told you were it is and what it is... I would bet that she miss heard him or he is not the best person when telling someone what's wrong with their car and called it by the wrong name.Can you find out what symptoms she has and report back?
