I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD Quadcab 4.7 V8 with 260,000 miles. It has 4-wheel disc brake and rear-wheel ABS. There are good pads on the back, new pads on the front, new master cylinder and the fluid has been flushed twice, three weeks ago. The system has no leaks whatsoever. Fluid is still full and looks brand new, like lemon aid.
When stopping at a stop sign or red light for a period of time, the brake pedal will lose tension and begin going down slowly. If I don't increase pressure on the pedal with my foot when stopped, the truck will sometime begin to roll forward after about 30 seconds. This issue is unnoticeable other times during normal driving.
I'm not sure what else to try to solve this. Changing the master cylinder did not help. And I flushed the system using an air-powered vacuum device that seems to pull a solid stream of new fluid from each wheel. If there is air trapped someplace, I do not know where or how to remove it. Everything seems perfect. But the problem persists even after the new master cylinder and flush. Please help.
