Replying to: latonick (Feb 07, 2008 5:11 am) NOTE: this may not be the fault of the calipers. If BOTH sides are dragging, then suspect the brake-booster on the master-cylinder or perhaps the ABS system is acting up. Most often grabby brakes on ALL the wheels is caused by a faulty brake-booster. Dont forget that the rotors are expected to be hot if you just used the brakes. Did you perform the "feel test" after running on highway and coming to stop with mininal use of the brakes? (I dp the "feel test" after coasting into a rest-area and use the emergancy brake to come to a stop... but you have to know what you are doing!) |

a couple of weeks ago I started to notice that whenever I tried to make a sudden stop my rear wheels would block completely...I though it would just go away with a couple of pumps on the brake....three days ago I was on the freeway and had to make a sudden stop due to an accident...at 75mph my wheels locked completely then started to lossen then lock back up again like if I were pumping really hard on the brakes, I had to get out of the road to avoid slaming into the stopped cars...can anybody give me a hand on this?

Replying to: armando166 (Feb 27, 2008 10:04 pm) Are you certain that BOTH of the rear wheels are locking up? If so, suspect the RWALB, speed-sensor (screwed into rear diff housing), proportioning valve, and tire size. (If you do not have EXACTLY the proper size tires installed as from the factory, the RWABS system may act up.) |

Anyone else having this brake problem with their truck? First the brakes felt like an ABSproblem with no ABS lite coming on just the jerky shudder when slowing down. Now the ABS and park brake lites are both on and the brake pedal is very soft almost to the point of having to pump the brakes to stop. Resevoir is still full to the top and no signs of a cylinder leaking. Huckel

I have a 2001 Dakota 4.7L. I noticed that the rotor on the passenger side was worn oddly. Therefore I want to replace the rotors and pads. I have limited knowledge of vehicular repair. Is this something I will want to try to do myself? Or is it better left to the pros?

Replying to: 01dak (Jul 11, 2008 7:28 am) If any work needs to be done to the hydrolic system. (like bleeding), it is better to have some knowledge of what you are doing. Keep in mind that brakes are an important safety feature on your Dak. and we dont want anyone to get hurt (or worse). When you pay somone to do it... they also assume liability and provide a warantee too. (You are not just paying for parts and labor)
