RE: ABS Not Working
Do 2000 Rams have rear drums?
ORIGINAL: okiemag318
Can you tell me a little more about this. I have a similar problem on my 2000 2wd. It's supposed to have rw abs, but they lock. Even at low speeds, like going through a parking lot, when I lightly brake, the back wheels will lock. They are typically real grabby or jerky. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the problem of brakes locking up is that worthless, combo valve that Dodge used on our trucks. It has limits. And one, MAYBE, two good slams on that brake pedal will rupture seals on that valve to the point where you rears will get almost full line pressure. Causing the rears to lock, because drum brakes are a low pressure device.

Yeah, they have rear drums. At least mine does, I'd like to convert to rear disc, but I can't spend that much right now. I do have a firm pedal, which I like, but that is about it for the positives. Thanks for your two cents. Hopefully I'll be able to get it straightened out.
