Ram 1500 brake problem

Has anyone experienced a problem braking when the brakes are hit very hard? I rear-ended someone on the freeway, the brakes didn't seem to work, should have been some smoking and skidding, nothing.

here in iraq a while back i rear ended a camel while driving a 95 dodge ram. that was pretty bad the worst part was that i also hit the guy that was standing shockingly close to the rear end of the camel. My dodge is a 1998, an ACIS (anti-camel impact system) came standard, unfortunately the poor soul standing by would not have been protected.

Oh man, that's hilarious. Sorry to hear it.

Check your vacume lines make sure the brakes are getting enough vacume,check the ajustment also in the rear .. :2cents:

Haulin, I'm new at this, so where are the vacuum lines for the brakes? I have to pump mine once to get it to full pedal, so I'm sure I have air in the lines also. Do I bleed the lines with the engine off or running? Also, any tips on how to bleed all the lines to be safe, I'm gonna be elbow deep in this truck tomorrow with the brakes anyway. Thanks for your time and info on this. :naughty: PEACE
