3rd gen brake system

[1Tufdsl]

I was browsing the Dodge website the other day and noticed something in the RAM 2500/3500 section under Safety/Security that I hadn't noticed before:



Plus, the brake modules include electronic variable brake proportioning that automatically adjusts the brake force applied to each wheel depending on its traction.



Have all 3rd gen's always had this or is this something new for '05?

Yes all third gen heavy duties I believe have this.

I must have missed that before then Casey. It sounds like a psuedo traction control setup then.



Nice Mountain Aire by the way. Those are gorgeous rv's.

Front to rear brake proportioning is built into the ABS unit. This note from the 2003 manual states "The antilock brake system (ABS) is an electronically operated, three channel brake control system. The vehicle has Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning

(EVBP) designed into the system which eliminates the combination/proportioning valve. "



Thanks for the comment on the trailer. Hated to put it into storage last month. One month down and four to go.

Gotcha... thanks for taking the time to note that.
