When enjoying the excellent horsepower and torque of the heavy-duty Dodge Ram pickup, its just as important to have a properly working brake system.

How does the braking system on the Dodge work?

The braking system for your Ram 2500 Mega Cab is linear in that the pressing of a pedal starts a chain reaction that travels through multiple components before ending with the braking calipers that physically stop the wheels. The pressing of the pedal forces a plunger into the next major component of the braking system, the master cylinder. When the plunger enters the master cylinder, it forces braking fluid through the rest of the braking system. This fluid activates rigid steel lines that are connected to more flexible hoses often referred to as brake lines. These flexible hoses connect the rigid lines to the calipers. The flexibility they provide extends the life of the rigid lines and allows for the vehicle chassis to turn.

What types of lines are there for Dodge Ram 2500?
  • Rubber lines - The most common type of lines are made of rubber. These lines are found in most vehicles and come factory standard with Dodge vehicles. Rubber is a common choice because it is highly durable and can last for a long time without needing to be replaced in the truck.
  • Stainless steel braided lines - The other regularly used material used in these lines is braided stainless steel. They are constructed from stainless steel braided into a hose with a tube within.
How do you check the Dodge’s braking system for failure?
  1. Determine if the fluid level in your master cylinder is at full capacity. If your Ram 2500 trucks master cylinders havent lost any fluid theres no reason to be concerned about broken lines.
  2. If the fluid is low, check the length and width of the lines for wetness or streaks of dried fluid.
  3. Check for spots of wear or rust. Sand off any rust and inspect the area below to make sure it isnt leaking.
  4. Inspect the rubber components by hand, looking for any spongy, sticky, or wet spots.
  5. Go under your vehicle to visually inspect the inner surface of each tire. If the master cylinder itself is leaking, there will be visible fluid dripping down the sides of the tire.
