Brake Pads Dodge Ram
1999 DODGE RAM 2500 SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEMS?
My 99 dodge ram 2500 has some serious braking issues. I had a total brake job done 8 months ago. New drums and shoes, new pads, rotors, and calipers. My problem is that the rear drums feels like there sticking. As soon as i pull out the driveway and barely tap the brakes, the rear lock up. And as I drive the rear just stays so stiff when I stop. It's embarrassing when I go to stop it looks like I'm just hammering down on the brakes. I have to adjust the rear twice a week to loosen it up just to drive it. I took it to Dodge and they said first the abs module, then try something else, and if that dont work then the proportioning valve. Seems like a lot of money just to throw at something that dont fix it. If I do hit the brakes hard enough I can feel the abs in the rear kick in. It does seem like all the pressure is going to the rear to stop me. Is this the proportioning valve causing this? If so how much does it cost? Any help would be helpful.....
there's one of two possibilities on this one,and i have seen this first hand is that the brakes may be on wrong on the rear or the proportioning valve may be off center,this will cause it to apply more pressure to the rear than the front,i got a dodge dakota that is doing that now,it will actually lock the rear brakes up and make the tires squeal,and leave black marks,you can try bleeding them but that wont help the valve none probably,you may wind up replacing the valve,the last one i bought ran about 80 bucks,and that did solve the problem,the reason those go bad is people use the wrong procedure in bleeding them and get them off center,good luck with it.
