Hello!
I'm new to anything Chrysler including this forum.
In in need of some sort of brake guru to help ASAP!
I've got the Gambler 500 tomorrow Which is a road rally where you drive a $500 dollar car 500 miles and compete in events along the way. The problem is the $200 Truck's (94 Ram 1500 4x4) brakes are seized in the front! $#!@!
The previous owner said it had a "new" master cylinder, and he doesn't know why they're locked on.
Upon inspection we noticed he never changed the pads in his life lol. The pads wore paste the metal and the caliper piston was the new pad. After replacing both calipers and pads and bleed the brakes were still seized. I tested the booster and it was bad as Well and replaced that to. Now the brakes are WAY BETTER! BUT THEY'RE STILL SEIZED!
Can my master cylinder be bad?
Is this Vacuum related? (Booster hose looks fine and there's a lot of vacuum from the engine side)
What am I missing lol!
Please help as I got the gambler tomorrow morning and the truck still doesn't move because of the brakes.
#FYI truck runs great
