    Master cylinder Maybe

    So I lost my breaks today, all is good. No lights or dash warnings. Pedal to the floor if I go slow the pedal will stop the truck. I do have power steering. Truck is 2014 about 90,000 miles on it. Thinking the master cylinder has an internal seal issue, i have no loss of fluid…. Any thoughts…

    Reoccurring Air in Brakes

    I have a 2016 BigHorn 2500 Cummins around 150k. Just recently did front rotors, pads, hub/bearings. When pulling the front right caliper I damaged one of the pistons and replaced the caliper with a new one from Napa. Got it all out back together bled the brakes 1,2,3 hold….. repeat. Got what I...

    Dull grinding / rubbing noise when braking

    I have a '17 1500 Hemi. Recently I noticed that whenever I apply brakes I get this dull grinding noise, I can hear it on the front left tire area. So naturally I assumed I needed new brake pads. Yesterday I installed the new ones, took the truck off the jack and had the same issue. So now it has...

    Brake's, make sure your checking the rears also.

    Hey folks, I am Okmitch77, don't be like Okmitch77. Here is the thing, I tried to be a cheap ass and do the normal front rotor and pad change this weekend thinking hey, the rears do not get used as much I can get by with just the fronts. Well, this is on a 2013, and me being the 2nd owner of...

    No brake pressure

    2004 1500 5.7L I changed all 4 calipers. Bleed the lines in sequence Had the ABS bleed cause I do not have a scanner. The truck is still at the shop the bleed the ABS. We cannot figure out why the brake paddle still goes to the floor. When bleeding the lines, there is some pressure but not much...

    Hole in brake line

    Randomly, I lost pressure in my brakes. Took it to the mechanic and he said that he found a hole in the steel line. Also said it’s highly unusual (no death threats, no rodents) and looks like it was manufactured that way. Anyone else had this problem?

    Brake pad rattle

    Wondering if anyone else has experienced brake pad rattle when hitting road imperfections. Hoping someone else has had this issue. Has Wagner pads on it now. I have messed with clips and it stopped the rattle for a day. I’m about to put mopar pads back on it hoping it stops the issue

    Rear brake line wierdness

    I've just finished replacing the rear drum brakes on my '01 2500 Cummins RWD and went to bleed them. Oddly, no matter how many pumps on the brakes, no fluid was coming out of the bleeder valves. The reservoir is filled with new brake fluid, and while my buddy pumped the brakes, I could see a...

    C1073 Code

    I have been getting a C1073 code lately, the ABS and traction control lights are on. Cruise control is not working. I have checked the ABS fuses, all are good. I have power to the harness on the pump control. At this point how do I check the pump to see if it is working or seized? I don't have a...

    2013 Quad Cab Brakes

    My 2013 Ram 1500 Quad Cab goes thru brakes like a kid eating caramel corn. Getting expensive. Any ideas out there? I only use O'reilly's top of the line ceramic pads and replace (not resurface) the rotors every time. I am a little rough on the brakes, but they should last more than a few...

    Intermittent braking issue

    I’ve got a brake issue on my 2014 5.7L hemi. After i did the brakes, i noticed a strange phenomenon: any time i go over a big bump, curb, etc., something that really jostled the truck side to side, the next time i hit the brakes, they’re just about gone. Then i pump the brakes a few times, and...

    Brake Issue

    Hey guys, I'm brand new to the forums here. I recently bought an 07 Ram 4.7L from my friends mother. Her father passed away and the vehicle sat for a little over a year outdoors (Florida). When I picked the vehicle up, the front brakes were stuck to the rotors. The guy at the shop it was at...

    Brake rotors

    I was wondering if drilled and/or slotted rotors actually improve brake performance. I have heard they don't improve performance but do hasten pad wear. I know they definitely look cool. What have you guys experienced?

    Z36 brakes

    I'm thinking about upgrading to the Z36 brake package and I'm wondering how they are with brake dust. I keep my truck really clean and brake dust drives me crazy. Any feedback from someone running the Z36's would be greatly appreciated.

    2009 Ram 1500 5.7L no brakes

    Hi there. Im not sure what to do next. I just bought a 09 ram, the guy said he just replaced the break pads and 1 caliper and now they had extremely soft brakes, like you have to pump them 4 times to get some sort of pressure built. He said they were totally fine before. I bleed them 4 times...

    Brake upgrades?

    Hi, so I have my 1500 Megacab Hemi, and from what I know, it uses pretty much all stuff from 2500 trucks. The truck brakes decent, but I like the almost effortless and no sag break pedal feel, and I don't have it. Now I am running 35" (but before weas similar) and also swapped to Power Wagon...

    Brakes, how good are yours?

    I'm considering giving my 1st gen to my daughter so she can tow a horse trailer. I'm concerned about the brakes. The truck always stops, doesn't pull, but I'm not so sure they are up to *****. The truck has a 2 inch lift and 285 75 16 tires. I primarily drive it to HomeDepot, the dump, or...

    Brake Warning Light & Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Lights Stay On

    Hello, I have a 2012 1500 Laramie 4x4 Two days ago, I noticed that both the Brake Warning Light & Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Lights Stay On. In addition, the Cruise Control will not turn on. The brakes are soft and spongy while not moving. The brake fluid level is good and not...

    Brake Upgrades?

    I'm curious to know if the brakes on a 1500 are the same as that on a 2500. The 2500 is heavier, and would make sense that the brakes are upgraded to having more stopping power all things considered. If indeed they are "upgraded" has anyone done the swap? Any pics? Issues you ran into etc?

    Bleeding ABS controller

    I put a new master brake cylinder in my 97 diesel ram. The ABS controller isnt letting much fluid through, making bleeding hard so I took it out and will probably put a pipe in it’s place. So if anybody knows if any problem that might result from that I’d appreciate the advice. I got fluid to...
