07 dodge 3500 brakes locking up
Hi all, I have a 07 dodge 3500 that drives fine but @ random times (3 since i had it,a week) as im driving the truck feels like its losing power and wont go than i will notice that the brakes are being applied than just lock up. I will have to let it sit for bout an hour till I guess they cool down but as I sit I can feel them releasing than back to normal. Now I bought the vechicle in TX and drove all the way home to Ga with no problems b ut the next day is when I started having this problem. Please help, Thanks

If you don't have any more knowledge than to ask a question like this the best thing you could do is take it to a qualified shop. Or jack it up and find out if ones stuck? What exactly are you expecting someone to say? It's not rocket science. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2 |

2wd disk on all 4. 6.7l I looked @ all wheels and no visible leaks. Shop showed me an invoice that they replaced pads, rotors and calipers front/rear. Replaced rear wheel seals, replaced abs fuse and repaired loose wire on harness because the ABS light was on but not anymore. Brake fluid level is full but I noticed the boot on master cap is mushroomed. Rides like normal but when it has went to lock up I did notice smoke from both front wheels when I stopped not sure if rear is locking. No vibrating just the truck feels like it's loosing Power.

Ok I had a friend mechinic come by and check things out. His quess was contamination so I replaced the master cylinder and brake hoses and did a bench bleed on the master cylinder and when I started to bleed the brakes themselves Im not getting any fluid at the rear wheels. I have read that you might need a scan tool to cycle the ABS units silenoids, could this be an issue and is there anyway are the scan tool use?

You looking for someone to tell you step by step instructions? Looking for someone to diagnose your truck over the internet, better yet over the Internet with the tid bit of actual information you actually supplied (you'd make a good story teller)?
