calipers grinding on 3500 Ram
I just bought a 2001 Roadtrek on a dodge ram 3500 chasis. When I turn hard in either direction I hear a grinding noise coming from the front end. I checked the bearings and they were ok and I want to look at the brake pads and calipers. Is there an allen bolt or hex head that holds them on and what size
is it? I'm on the road with no tools and only want to buy what I need to make it home. Thanks,

I just read a thread on the dodge diesel forum and a noisy front end when turning the wheel can be dry wheel bearings. Any one grease the bearings through the ABS sensor to solve this problem on a ram 3500 2 wheel drive?

A common problem on these vans is to have collapsing front brake hoses connecting the caliper to the brake line. the internal rubber collapses and holds the brakes in contact with the rotor and prematurely wears out the front brakes. Cheap enough to replace with new and blead the brakes.
I have read about fluid drawing moisture into the lines... and I have drained the entire brake line and replaced all the brake fluid on my '01 two summers ago.
Good preventative if nothing else.
