Seemsto me that the brake line blowing indicates too much pressure.
An pulling to the right might be an indicator of more pressure in that brake than the other side.

Does this vehicle have 4 wheel ABS or just rear? Generally speaking, on a vehicle with 4 wheel ABS, if one wheel speed sensor fails, it will erroneously read 0 mph while braking, and the controller will think it's skidding and reduce braking to that wheel. This will cause both a brake pull, and an ABS lamp illumination. Not saying this is your problem, but it's where I'd look first.

Does your speedo not work rite till your over 10 mph. I had a problem with my speed sensors in the rear goin out and it sets off the abs and brake light and my speedo was not reading till about 10 mph then it would jump up and be fine. The sensor is right in the top of the pumkin on the back diff. I think they were dealer only parts but only like $20s.

mine came on a couple months ago. i took it to a dodge dealer and they read the code... they said it was a bad ABS module and it would be something like 600-800 to replace it.

Try bleeding all of the lines and see if that helps. Otherwise if it pulls to the right it could indicate a stuck caliper on the driver side. Remanufactured calipers are pretty inexpensive, if you're over 150k on the stockers I'd say get some rebuilts for about $70 for the set. That way you can rule that possiblity out if it doesn't work. This would be my first guess it you don't have 4 wheel ABS.

you said its a rear abs only? brake switch, abs computer, rear speed sensor or wires are broken in between the rear speed sensor and the computer.

i think i've heard autozone will read your codes for free.. or do you guys have that place in the states?

continuity test for the wires (make sure you jump the 2 wires at the sensor to best both at hte same time).

can your code reader read abs codes? abs and engine codes are seperate things. honestly i've never seen a dodge blow 2 front lines at once and i get a lot of yahoos in company trucks in from the bush cause they've done whatever.
