#114 of 131 Braking and ABS by abitwise Oct 03, 2009 (1:59 pm)
1998 Dakota, 2WD, V6 3.9. Automatic trans.   With rear end lifted, engine running in gear rear wheels spin (as they should) but, when I apply the brakes the left rear wheel stops completely while the right rear continues to spin freely.   I was wondering, is this a normal function of the RWAL system, or is this a problem?

Replying to: doctorhook (Sep 23, 2009 2:01 am) After several attempts to fix this problem, they say the fix was to remove and clean speed sensor in differential(metal filings on it) drain and replace rear end fluid. So far the brakes have been good, time will tell...................
#116 of 131 2003 Dakota Tight Brake Pedal by yankeebri Dec 19, 2009 (10:18 pm)
Hello. It's midnight, and I've spent the last 2 hours reading all of the posts on this forum thread so that I don't sound like a total idiot. Too late. I do not know anything about auto repair, but hoping for some help:   My right calf is about twice as strong as my left calf muscle from pushing down my '03 Dak brake pedal. I bought used in "06 with 45,000 miles, and I have since replaced front and rear brakes (just today rear pads/rotors). I was hoping that somehow this would help me with the very difficult to depress brake pedal, but it didn't :-/. Booster? Master cylinder? Leak? If you have any idea, perhaps you could also guide me to typical costs associated with the job? Thanks! Replies to this message: srs_49 (Dec 22, 2009 5:50 am)
#117 of 131 ABS/Brake lt. and speedo by floydfangeorge Dec 21, 2009 (8:18 pm)
I have a '98 Dakota v-6 and 4 spd auto trans. My ABS and dash "Brake" lights are on. Also, the speedo doesn't work until about 20 mph. The speedo works just fine sbove 20. I had other trans related problems, most of which were fixed with the speed sensor mounted in the tail shaft housing. Can I assume that the speedo works from the rear diff sensor? And could this be the problem? Please help. Thanks!

Replying to: yankeebri (Dec 19, 2009 10:18 pm) I would first look at the vacuum booster for the brakes.   Disconnect the vacuum hose from the engine to the booster and plug it with something. Turn the engine on and see if there's any difference in the force needed to work the brakes.

#120 of 131 '98 Dakota-Need Parking Brake Cable Tensioner by rogdodgny Jan 26, 2010 (10:32 am)
I'm in need of a replacement "Parking Brake Cable Tensioner" (MOPAR part# 52008437AB) for my 1998 Dodge Dakota. I've been to my local Dodge dealer and I've been told that this part is no longer being produced and is not available. This part was used during model years 94-99 on both Dakotas and Durangos.   Can anyone help?   Any suggestions (aside from junkyards)?   Thanks   Roger
#121 of 131 RWAL Light on and Rear brakes not working by dloria Feb 08, 2010 (9:36 pm)
I have a 1994 Dakota CC 5.2 L with RWAL Drum Brakes. I have had this in the shop several times. Rear wheel cylinders have been replaced and so has the master cylinder 3 times. I can drive it about 20 miles and then the ABS light comes on and the Rear brakes no longer work. This has happened 3 times each time a new master cylinder has been put in. The repair shop says the master cylinder is going into bypass. I am driving now with only front brakes. Any one help please. I want to give the truck to my son but I can't until I get the brakes fixed....
