2000 2500 brake issue

schulzy190 -> 2000 2500 brake issue (4/21/2008 9:24:02 AM)
I have tried search and nothing seemed to be what this is....I have a 2000 2500 and just recently the brakes started acting up. the brake light on the dash as well as the abs are on. i can drive it fine but when its time to stop the pedal goes about 3/4 of the way before any braking or resistence starts. after that it brakes fine...i checked the fluid level and its fine...not sure whatelse to check...any thoughts let me know...thanks in advance ~Justin

I bet you have a brake line that has swelled. . .would be easier to just change them all.

I think i have found the cause to my problem there is a leak near the rear axle and it looks to be coming from the brake lines...i attached a pic... [image]local://upfiles/88490/5FF38CF478D34D58B2A3A4C8D4E01C35.jpg[/image]

I'd say you found your culprit. . . but to answer your question, sometimes those rubber hoses do give way. . .

is there anything i should know before i take it for a test drive? i have to bleed the lines but anything else?
