Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Front brakes pull to one side

[steve miller]

Hello all. I have a problem that I just can’t figure out. When I bought the truck someone had put line lock on it. I removed the line lock and was having my driver side caliper hang up. I replaced the caliber, rotors and pads. It did it again! I replaced the porportionong valve. It did it again! I thought it might be the module that controls the ABS so I bypassed it. Replaced the master cylinder, all front brake lines and got rid of the porportiong valve and installed a Wilwood. It is STILL pulling to the left. I can tell that the driver side caliper is the only one getting fluid. I will upload a pic. As it is currently it comes off the master cylinder, goes to the wilwood proportioning valve which has two outputs for the front and one to rear. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Why would you replace the combination (proportioning) valve when you're having issues from left to right. The combination valve only proportions front to back, not side to side. I would start with checking your flexible brake hoses for bulges, soft areas, or blockage. Then I would check your hub bearings. If one is loose, the pads on that side will get spread and not tighten as fast, causing your truck to pull to the other side.

Btw, all Dodge calipers were crap until 2000 when they went to 2 piston calipers. I would have to replace my pads every oil change until I did the Ford swap.

Have you checked the rear brakes?

Reminds me of a just restored IH 1486 (I think) that the engine ran away. Revved until it blew and burned.
