Long time lurker first time poster
Hey everyone. I've been using the knowledge on this forum for years for my truck.
2001 dodge RAM 1500 Laramie SLT
4X4, 5.9 V8 230XXX Miles.
Here's my story.
Last year I let the breaks go to far, blew the passenger side caliper. Since the u joints were also bad, the truck go parked until I had money to take care of things.
2 weeks ago I replaced:
Front axel shaft u-joints
Both hub assemblies
Both calipers
Both rotors and pads
Bled the system in the proper order like I've done before with some help from the drivers seat. All the old.fluid flushed out today the system. Pedalgot tight, go to road test, pedal sinks to the floor and I roll into the nieghbors yard. Alright, must still be air in the system. Rebleed. Same deal. Truck off no problems. Truck on, pedal goes to the floor.
Have since replaced:
Master cylinder
Booster
Vacuum hose
Booster check valve
No change. Pedal sinks to the floor.
Did some more digging on here and found a few people talking about the RWAL system. So I'm headed to the local pull a part to grab a "new" solonoid, and the brain it plugs into.
Where I'm stuck:
Feeling pretty defeated at this point. If the junk yard part doesn't work, where the heck can buy a new one?
Is there a way to bypass the entire RWAL system
And finally....
Anyone have any other ideas why I'm having issues
