I"ve got a 98 1/2 Dodge 2500 (first of the 24 valves) with about 160 000 miles on it, but last year or so i"ve been having rear brake issues with it, i noticed then when pulling a loaded trailer (about 12000 lbs) the rear brakes weren"t doing as much work as they should, ended up tracing the problem to the load sensing valve, it had ceased and wasn"t letting brake fluid through to the wheel cylinders (which by this time had also ceased), so changed all that and the problem went away for a while. I don"t tow that often, maybe once a month, but the brakes seem to be not working again, but so far i can"t find the cause, wheel cylinders appear good, i"ve disconnected the load sensing link and wired the actuator to the frame rail in the fully loaded position, but there is still not much for rear brakes. The truck has ABS on the rear axle, but no lights are showing (bulbs work!) Just wonder if anyone had any ideas?? i keep looking at the pipe work coming off the master cylinder and going into 2 valve bodies (right side of master cylinder, next to fuse box) and wondering if they might be the problem, but i don"t really want to throw anymore money at the truck until i figure out whats wrong...
