I thought I'd pass along a few observations about this extended repair ordeal. If any of the brake components are sticking, brake fluid will appear under the proportional valve rubber cap. Dragging front calipers will generate enough heat that the hub bearings will start puking out cooked...

It has been a long three years of exasperation and discovery, but after 2 master cylinders, 10 hydroboost units, 4 power steering pumps, 2 steering gearboxes, 7 brake hoses, 17 brake calipers, 4 hub assemblies, 4 wheel speed sensors, a proportional valve, a salvaged hydraulic control unit, and a...

I went with the Daniel Sterns sport light upgrade kit with the Dorman housings back in 2019 and am still amazed how well I can see at night, after driving for almost two decades with the factory lights. Ditches and curbs are really lit up so I can see where I'm turning and any wildlife that...

Last week, I had the QuadCab tires serviced, and with the wheels pulled off, I took a look at the brake pads, and was disappointed to see the wear on the driver side front pads through the caliper windows. A few days ago, I pulled the calipers off to get the front rotors surfaced, and verified...

This spring and summer have been unseasonably wet, so I've had to deal with a lot of slick conditions on paved and unpaved surfaces. This has led to a lot of ABS + BRAKE lights, for days at a time. As summer has begun to dry out a little, I've realized several conditions that occur to trigger...

I went with the AirDog Raptor, and after 7k it conked out right in front of the grocery store main entrance in the middle of the day...not frustratingly embarrassing at all...apparently, something went wrong with its electric motor...since I registered it, they sent one asap no questions asked...

I've gone through two HVAC boxes, and only replaced the foam gasket on perimeter so it would seal off when closed. Neither made any noise that I could hear for the last 5 years with that ol' Cummins clattering away :cool:

Swapped PS pump fluid after about 3k when the groaning resurfaced and warning lights came back on. But I did notice a recurring scenario with our wild winter weather: when air temperatures were above 60°F and I set the parking brake fully, the ABS and park brake warning lights would come on...

additional information - ABS problems identified

Most of late September and October was free of warning lights, so I thought I had turned a corner on this long journey of problem solving. In that time, I took 6 road trips in excess of 2 hrs each, having only taken 2 long trips the previous 8 months. Then we had a 3 day cold spell dipping...

I went with Daniel Stern's upgrades and still cannot believe how well they light up the road + ditches...best upgrade I've done on a 2nd gen, just slightly better than the exhaust upgrades...

There is one sentence in the FSM that got my attention when dealing with brake fluid contamination that said ALL brake components with rubber that came in contact with the contamination must be replaced, including the proportional valve and ABS hydraulic control unit. There are rubber seals...

ABS warning light is now a random occurrence, but I am not driving much these days due to covid restrictions, so the brakes are not wearing in as fast as I would have liked. When I softly apply the brakes on unpaved surfaces after the truck has not been driven for hours, the ABS light comes on...

the intermittent ABS warning light can be reproduced consistently by backing downgrade too fast, especially on dry pavement...the light goes out after shutting the truck down and starting it back up...brake pedal still works like it should, brake fluid level is unchanged...when the light comes...

this sounds similar to an issue I had with a right rear cracked remanufactured caliper casting...after several weeks, the pedal started to become a little spongy, and I noticed the brake fluid in the reservoir had dropped...that little bit of air in that part of the circuit was causing some...

To quantify the sound levels, I used an app I downloaded to my phone to measure sound levels in dBs, its accuracy is in the ballpark for comparative purposes. At 75mph, with the Cummins turning 2100 rpm, inside the QuadCab registers 77 dB. Dad's 2016 Ram 1500 Hemi comes in at 68 dB. Mom's...

Agreed, ya want to mount the resonator directly under the passenger seat...with the 4" MBRP setup, I mounted the resonator to the downpipe, followed by an 8" pipe before the muffler, and a 4" pipe before the over-axle pipe. I ran just the resonator for a few months before adding the muffler...

After 10 days of no incidents, I had 2 consecutive days where the ABS warning light came on: once in stop'n'go traffic, the other while backing downgrade. The light would shut off after parking the truck for a few minutes then starting back up for another errand run. With all of my...
