I was having an issue to where the left wheel spins almost freely and the right doesn't want to turn unless you spin it harder. Well I got a new brake line and caliper on right side.. and had brakes bled. The right side is still sticking way more than it should even with new pads, rotor and caliper. I need some kind of glue on what to fix next lol. This is on 2k dakota with rear wheel abs.

 

how are the wheel bearings? do you maybe have a cv or u joint going? just a thought

 

The back cylinders are leaking but i doubt that would cause any problem with the front cause i thought they were on separate connections.

 

Im going to have to go with mcnasty on this one seems like more of a bearing problem.

 

I keep reading about proportion valve etc.. but no dash lights are on. When i reset the piston on the caliper the wheel spins insanely well.. but soon as i hit the brakes and let go wheel is pretty much locked.

 

i know you said you replaced the rubber brake hose, that is what happened to me. i put a new caliper on and it locked up on me within 20 miles. i was told to change out my hose, it fixed it for a little while. when it locked up on me the 1st time with the new caliper it over heated the new caliper and it was junk. so... long story short, i needed to replace my hose and caliper at the same time to solve my problem. a propotioning valve divides the braking power front to rear, not left to right, so im not thinkin its your problem. are you 2wd or 4x4? and are we talking about the front brakes?( i know, a little late for those questions)

 

2wd and front brakes. I have to get this fixed immediately cause everybody in my division at best buy was laid off so I have to have my truck for job searching or interviews. What I did was install new hose, yet its from autozone and almost 1 inch shorter than factory so I had to reshape the bracket to make it fit, starting wondering if i killed the hose. Next day i put on new caliper and that didn't fix it. So puzzled, i even siphoned fluid out of the reservoir so it wouldn't get sucked down with any gunk it had. I then added fluid and topped it off before ever hitting the brake pedal. If it matters, the brake light or abs light are not on. It never got crimped at all and never had weight on it.

 

im pretty much out of ideas for ya, there isnt an inch of play in the factory hose, they may have givin you the wrong hose, now it may have kinked itself. idk, just throwing stuff out there. how did the banjo bolt feel when you tightened it the last time? did it snug up or did it feel soft like it was going to break?

 

It seems to be fine cause if i press in caliper with topped off reservoir the reservoir overflows. Might have brake check check it but i doubt they will tell me whats wrong for under 100.

 

Depends on how much time you have. 2 things I would try, depending on your resources. Do you have a mighty vac? or a friend? I like to bleed a full system full of fluid if I'm doing anything. other than that, Its a tossup. I dont know how your line would 'lock up' your caliper. I would only attribute it to a soft pedal or fade.
Hydraulics are easy, until there is a problem. This one seeming to be residual pressure in your right caliper.

My thoughts:
-Pull calipers, spin wheel; good, bad? -bearing
-Full system purge - MightyVac-style...
-Test
-Fail?
-New caliper - warranty/return
-rebleed that side; test
-fail?
-cry

If the issues persist after that, I would have to see the braking system. With the rear-only ABS, you have a line coming out of the mast. cyl. to a splitter for left and right. there should be no valving, etc in these; just a straight shot to the caliper. So, that would point to the master cylinder. But the fact it's only one side is odd, and would negate that theory. Odd. Anyway, be interesting to see what happens.

This what your's looks like? Should be single output per front and rear.
