Default wierdness....


Latley my truck is clunking, sounds like the box is moving, but I put on a topper and I still hear the clunking, the box is not moving, I checked the spare tire and mounting assblley under the truck and it's ok..

Now my abs light and brake light is lit up on the dash, My brakes are working fine and I'm not driving arround with my E brake on, this is working fine.

U jionts and drive shaft appear to be ok and I don't suspect the rear diff, my truck is a 06 2500 reg cab 4x4. 6sp


The abs and brake light come on, than disapear, than come on, I reset the coumputer and pulled the fuse for the abs and reinstalled it, this did not change any thing..


I know the dodge dealer is going to have put on the gloves, but until I get the truck in, any insight is welcome.

The brakes are working fine, don't know abought the Abs until I panic stop the truck on gravel

Best guess I have is that a connector for your abs is loose and when the contact is made again the abs is engaging/disengaging for a short amount of time. This is purely a guess though, as I've never heard of the symptoms you described, but I have heard of the connectors getting loose in trucks.

Thanks, this explains the abs light, but why would the brake light ( parking brake ) come on? when the E brake is on the brake light flash's on the dash, when I take off the brake, the brake light no longer flash's but stay's lit up.

Booth come on and off at the same time, I'm driving on paved roads, right now it's not a safety issue, just a anoyance, and I hate ABS brakes... And thiers no pulling or pulseing in the bakes.

You could have a wheel sensor going bad or just have bad connect at sensor. You need to get the trouble codes from the PCM to figure out what it is.

the clunking was the spare tire winch, Replaced under warenty, the barke light was a new e brake cable and the abs light is a mystery, but so far all is good, the dealer let me drive a 300 C for the day, too bad the 300 dosnt have the leg room, and I thought my 2500 5.7 Ram had speed, man oh man the 300 c with the hemi is twice the rocket...
