Hi,

I'm a little confused if my truck is equipped with what is called a rear brake proportioning valve.

I've got a 2002 RAM 2500 CTD 4x4 with 4-wheel disc anti-lock brakes. Did these trucks use this option on them for the rear brakes?

Also, if it is used....does the raising of the rear of the truck 1-2 inches affect the abs brakes or this valve?

Thanks,
Mike

 

i was just under my truck and i have the big drum brakes and i didnt see one on mine but i wasnt looking either

 

with 4 wheel abs..I don't you'll find it.

without 4 wheel abs yes..I have a 99 and an 00 and both have the valve.
I would think that raising the truck without re adjusting the rod to the valve would be an issue.

Thank you for the information. I was wondering. Where is this usually located on the rear of the truck if a Dodge RAM does have this?

 

mine are located just above the rear axle drivers side and mounted to the frame. there's a arm the fastens to the axle..I found this on my '99 because the rear lines leaked..rusted through..

would a 96 2500 have the valve or did they start in 97?

 

mmmm...i'm not too sure about that....you may want to get the advice of someone that is familiar with that year.....i do know that if you truck has 4 wheel anti-lock braking system that it does not have this valve....

 

The load sensing valve in the rear didn't start until '97

 

My 99 dually doesn't have the valve.
