    Could this be another ABS problems on a Ram?

    Coramie, When you mentioned sneaking up on it in the middle of the night I just thought of what my neighbor mentioned to me. He told me the Manufacturers wake up the computer on these new vehicles at night via satellite communication and down load up dates to the vehicle. He also indicated...

    Could this be another ABS problems on a Ram?

    62Blazer I thought about many of your suggestions. If I had the schematics with voltage and signal traces for all the computer modules on my truck I could likely evaluate the source of the problem. Manufactures don't freely offer such detailed info down to the individual component level...

    Could this be another ABS problems on a Ram?

    dpinvindic, My neighbor experienced the exact same issue I had explained to him. He had his scan tool on the truck while he was driving to and from his workplace. He felt the brakes applying, he told me he took his foot off the gas and pulled on the shoulder of the road. He indicated he ran...

    Could this be another ABS problems on a Ram?

    Daw14, When you had the issue, how were you able to isolate the calipers as the culprit? And did both your front calipers fail at the same time on both sides every time you had the issue? I'm willing to try anything now. My truck had 27,700 miles on it

    Dont feel bad I'm stumped too! LOL I installed a new brake master cylinder last week . Started dragging the front brakes again. I called RamCare they ran it by their "So Called". Engineers, They told me it would be codes or dash lights on if there were a problem with the brakes. This goes...

    Could this be another ABS problems on a Ram?

    Raminfo, Thanks for the input, I have inspected all the lines and calipers. I thought about the rubber hoses but it applies brakes on both front wheels when it happens not just one side. I thought it might be something as simple as a sticky piston in the master cylinder. Since there were no...

    Could this be another ABS problems on a Ram?

    Yes It does apply the front brakes only. I can pull off the road and feel the heat coming off both front wheels when I touch the rims. No heat on the back wheels. If I put in Drive to pull off you have to depress the gas quite a bit to get it moving and as soon as you let off the truck stops...
