Do all 98 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4's have 4 wheel ABS? Thanks! |

I have been looking at full size Chevy/GMC, Ford and Dodge extended cab trucks and cannot understand why Ram's only come with REAR ABS and Dodge makes a buyer pay extra for 4 wheel ABS. From what I can gather after a LOT of research is that on the Ram 1500 4 wheel ABS is only available as part of the Stability Program Package and I have not seen a single 2007 Ram 1500 that has this option. (I've done a lot of on-line inventory searches.) If there are any Dodge salespeople who read read these posts feel free to e-mail at bichonboys  comcast.net. P.S. Does anyone know when the cut off date is to order a 2007?

Replying to: ff1825 (Apr 28, 2007 1:08 pm) There is some contention in the industry about the effectiveness of 4-wheel anti-lock brakes as well as the increased cost of maintenance and potential for failure. GM in particular has had reliability problems with the wheel sensors and the brake controllers. Testing across various automotive platforms indicates that stopping distances are longer on vehicles equiped with 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. In addition, some will point out that on a light duty pick-up where the majority of maximum laden weight is on the rear axles, rear-wheel anti-lock is just as or more effective as 4-wheel. Dodge gives the buyer the option to "option-out" of 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. Regards, Dusty

1997 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 extended cab diesel automatic LEMON. Latest problem - brakes locked up and almost caused an accident. Every time the steering wheel turns the brakes lock. Harder I turn the steering the harder the brakes go on. Can watch the pedal depress as I turn the wheel. Happened suddenly and almost caused an accident!!! Had to "play" with the steering back and forth to get the truck moved out of the path of other cars. Any suggestions to what this latest problem is with my LEMON truck. (Lots of weird problem stories with this truck). kenromans comcast.net

| I have researched pads on-line and was confused at first #758 fits both vans and pu's....#842 is for pu's ONLY. Finally learned that BENDIX pads have a clip that is universal to all pistons, so they use the 758 number for all Dodges, while all other mfgers. have a different clip conf. so vans are 758....and pu's are 842. Don't make the same mistake I did and order the wrong pads. | |
Has anyone been able to find a brake pad that emits little or no brake dust? Cleaning rims is a paind.

We are having a problem w/the brakes on our 94 Ram. When we hit the brakes it takes off to the right and we have a ton of brake dust on the front right brake. The brake pads, calipers, hoses have been replaced and the rotors have been turned. Does anyone have any suggestions to correct the problem?
