Default brake proportioning valve on 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4

Is the brake proportioning valve adjustable on a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4? Judging from the minimal wear on the rear brake pads over the last 60,000 miles (half the pad thickness) and the front pads averaging 20,000 miles or less per replacement, it doesn’t look like there is a 70%-30% ratio front to rear – more like 85%-15%. I bled the rears and fluid is definitely flowing.

Disk, or Drum rear brakes?

What pad compound are you getting as replacements on the front? Generally, I end up doing rear brakes every other time I do the fronts......

3rd gen rams have disc brakes all around. I use semi-metallic pads for my replacements.

No, no OEM proportioning valve comes adjustable.

ALL 3rd gen and newer Rams come with discs all around. The parking brake is the only thing like a drum brake (kind of in miniature).
