    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…

    Hello all, I’ve got a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Big Horn with about 35.5k miles. No issues when just starting a drive in the morning but after about 30+ miles of driving from work my brakes make a weird clunking noise when i press them down while at slow speeds or if I’m stopped (parking lots, my...

    What's this ?

    Need help identifying this hanging from my truck. Never noticed it before and seems awfully loose. Looks like I can tighten it. Seems odd that it would loosen up out of the blue.

    Driver side running lights not working

    Hello everyone! I really need some help with this. I recently went to hook up an aftermarket LED strip for the bottom of my tailgate as a brake,reverse,turn signal light and it caused my driver side running lights to stop working. Bulbs are all fine, and all the fuses seem to be fine as well...

    Brake lights wiring?

    The turn and hazards work. No brake lights. I though it might be the switch but when I looked there are no wires connected to it and I don’t see anything that looks like it would fit. Can anyone post a picture or description of the wires and plugs? thanks 1985 D-150

    Front passenger turn signal comes on when braking.

    I have a 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie. I've had it for a few years. I recently noticed that when I hit the brakes the front passenger Amber turn light comes on solid with the brake lights. Then I noticed that the brake lights only come on when you have the key in the ignition. Has anyone had any issue...

    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...

    Worth going to the dealership for the trailer brake activation?

    I know it can be activated through alfaodb but is it worth it to go to the dealership to have it tied to your vin and all that? My dealership wants 135 and I’ll call a couple more. But the Mx+ is only 80 so is it really worth it to go to the dealership?

    Parking brake & Traction Lights On...

    2011 Ram 150 4.7 88k Would a wheel sensor cause both Park Brake & traction lights to come at the same time when I start the truck up? They stay on now but I do still have cruise control.

    service electronic brake system message

    I had this message in the main display along with cruise control being disabled. (2013 Outdoorsman 4WD) Just for other members information this turned out to be caused by the steering being out of alignment. Apparently if the alignment is sufficiently 'out' it will cause this error. So the fix...

    Please identify this hose '04 Ram 1500

    During my injector swap earlier today my hand hit a tiny hose as I was moving some cabling to the side. The hose is about 3/16 in diameter. As the hose was brittle, and pressurized with air, it snapped easy against my brake booster. A tiny hose comes out at the top of my firewall, and into a...

    1500 rolls down hill with brake on?

    I might be missing something here, but my drive way is on a slight decline towards the road. Yesterday i backed the 2018 truck up the driveway, didn't put on the parking brake, put it in 'park'... and it rolled slowly down the driveway! now... in my experience, the regular brakes should be...

    Integrated Trailer Brake Controller Problem

    Hello everyone, I just picked up a 2019 Ram 1500 Sport a month ago. I do enjoy the truck but there seems to be an issue with stopping my trailer. The brakes on the trailer dont seem to actuate when the brake is pressed or when sliding the trailer brake controller buttons. The truck came...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    I think (praying and crossing fingers) that the brake squeal on my truck has been resolved, once and for all, after 4 times to the dealer. I had the same brake squealing that A LOT of people have been complaining about. Typically happened with light press of the brake going between 45-70 mph...

    Ram 3500 parking brake cable pulls loose at splice connection?

    My parking brake cables break loose at the splice connection under the truck when I apply the parking brake. As soon as I tighten the cables enough to for the E-brake to work and stop the truck, the cable usually pops out of the splice connection. I have squeezed the splices with vice grips to...

    Parking Brake Issues / Improvements?

    My MY2015 1500 has a sagging parking brake cable and a warning light that will randomly come on (even with brake physically disengaged). Story below, but TL;DR - is there any sort of improved solution we can put on the trucks to avoid this in future? I'm not really down for replacing my parking...

    Another Brake Controller setting question

    Hello, 2016 Ram 2500 with OEM Brake controller. Everything I read about setting the break controller says to keep adjusting the gain up until the trailer breaks lock up using the manual slide activator only when going about 20MPH than back off the gain a bit. I am unable to get this to...
