    Brakes intermittently go to the floor.

    Got a serious one here gents. This is my son's 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. 290k miles, but replaced engine and transmission about 30k miles ago. Previously had a brake pedal that would slowly sink to the floor when brakes were applied. Replaced the master cylinder (was the original one) and didn't fix...

    Inherited 1998 Ram 2500 with 160k miles. Would like guidance.

    As the thread title suggests, I recently inherited a 1998 Ram 2500 with only 160k miles. It was kept garaged and driven mostly in the mountains, very well taken care of by a career trucker, and is in beautiful shape. I just drove it from Colorado to Florida in 2 days without any significant...

    11 1500 ABS Module Replacement?

    If I need to find another ABS Module, would a used/rebuilt one from ebay work? Would it need to be programmed/initialized? or Bled?

    Soft brake pedal when started 2012 Ram 1500 5.7

    I'll try to keep this short. About a month ago I replaced my brake pads and rotors. I didn't open the hydraulic lines. After the installation my brake pedal went about 3/4 of the way to the floor when I started the truck. I replaced the master cylinder and the same thing happened. I took it to a...

    Battery fire - Trying to find part that was damaged.

    Hi everyone, first post here. My truck is a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Diesel. I had a very unfortunate battery fire. The truck had been sitting for about 6 hours. The battery on driver side caught fire, and melted right through the hood release cable so I couldn't pop the hood to put the fire...

    Feedback about Upgraded Towing Brakes (Rotors, Pads & Calipers) for a '15 2500 4x4 6.4l

    Looking for feedback on upgrading rotors and pads (calipers too). Looking for those who have seen improvements while towing loads in the mountains? I have had good experiences in the past with using drilled & slotted rotors, so I am looking for any experiences you may have with ones like that...

    Dodge Ram Brakes for Optimal Performance

    Last week at a local truck gathering, I spoke with a truck owner who believed his brakes were adequate just because they managed to stop his vehicle. I had to clarify that stopping power is more than just bringing the truck to a halt—it’s about how efficiently and safely you can stop...

    Hello, I have a 2013 Ram 1500 4X4 Laramie and I am having a weird braking issue. A year ago when I got the truck, I noticed a few months after, when I came to a stop there is a *clunk* noise coming from the rear. Thought it was my 3 ton jack in the back hitting the front of the bed, but it...

    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…

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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 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?
