problem #3

Ram 2500 4WD Diesel

Have had a severe right hand pulling problem under moderate to severe braking. I have brought my vehicle to the dealership at least four times for the same issue but the problem still persists. The problem seems to be worse as the brakes are at their operating temp. When brakes are cold the pulling problem is minimal. Prior visits to the dealership has resulted in the replacment of calipers, alignment and proportion valve. Eventhough these parts have been replaced the problem still exists. The problem revealed itself as early as 15,000 miles and has persisted intermittantly since that time.

Brakes would not work properly in rear when applied due to proportional valve failure. This prevents brakes from stopping vehicle.

When pulling load back brakes will not operate, and all work is done by front brakes. This causes front brakes to get real hot. After taking trailer off and going down on a dirt road, back brakes will lock up and vehicle will slide. Tsb 05-04098 was issued, stating proportional valve had to be replaced. Also, the front brakes and caliper repeatdly fails almost every 3000 miles.
