sticking caliper

Asked by Michelle Jul 16, 2018 at 06:51 PM about the 1997 Dodge RAM 1500 Laramie SLT Club Cab LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 97 ram 1500 . Original problem was driver side caliper sticking. Truck being from 97 and brake hardware never replaced I replaced the brake master cylinder, calipers, pads. I replaced the complete rear brake system, pistons, pads, shoes, and spring kit for the shoes and brake lines. Whole system was bled. Drove fine for 2 days and bam same problem in the same brand new caliper. The only thing I didn't replace on the front was  the hoses on the front. I will try that next. the ABS module light is not on and there is nothing in the codes from the dash. If its not the hose do you have any suggestions?
