Dodge: 99 Dodge Ram P/U ABS, dodge ram, rotors


Question
Just a follow-up.  The mileage on my truck is at 62K.  This is the second set of brakes I put on the truck since I purchased it new.  The rotors have been visibly worn on the left front each time.
I picked up my truck from the mechanic.  The lights are off, but he does not "feel" like fluid is going to the back brakes because of a CAB problem.  That is supposed to cost another $400+.  Suggestions?

Answer
Bev,
Try bleeding the brakes on the rear of the truck.If when you pump up the brake and loosen the little nut to bleed them and fluid comes out you are getting fluid to the back brakes.I'm not saying he's wrong but it's a lot cheaper to bleed the brakes to check it than just hand him $400.00.Let me know what happens.Thanks RamMan
